00:00Go ahead.
00:01Does the President feel like he's beat back this effort to force him to step aside?
00:07Look, you know, you heard the President yesterday when he called into Morning Joe, did about
00:1218 minutes of Q&A yesterday morning.
00:17He spoke very, I think, forcefully, passionately about where he stands, about how he sees things
00:23moving forward.
00:25And we also have said many times we respect.
00:28We respect members of Congress, we respect their view, but I also want to say there's
00:34a long, also a long list of congressional members who have been very clear and in support
00:42of this President.
00:43Whether it's the CBC, who gave a full support, the Congressional Black Caucus, for folks
00:48who are watching and are not sure what CBC is, they were very much supportive.
00:53They said, we think that, this is Representative Joyce Beatty, to be clear.
00:58We think that the call went extremely well.
00:59The President was very responsive.
01:02Representative Troy Carter, who's also a member of the CBC, he was elated to hear directly
01:07from the President and that he is all in, and we are all in with him.
01:11You heard from, you got a Congressional Hispanic Caucus.
01:15They put out a statement in full support of this President, and there are others.
01:19And so, look, he is going to focus on continuing to work on behalf of the American people,
01:25continuing to build on an unprecedented record that he's been able to get done with many
01:30of these congressional members that he's proud to have worked with.
01:34But that's his focus right now.
01:36That's his focus.
01:37Are you still talking to more people, more members of Congress?
01:39He's going to continue to engage.
01:41As you saw him in Pennsylvania, when he was in the Commonwealth, on the road, he had the
01:49two of the senators, two of the congressional members with him, the House members with him.
01:53He's going to be traveling later in the week.
01:56He's going to be engaging.
01:57I mentioned yesterday his robust schedule for the next two weeks when he's in state.
02:02He certainly will continue to engage.
02:04I don't have a list of additional calls to read out, but he did CBC last night, Congressional
02:11Black Caucus, and he's going to continue and engage as he has been.
