The White House has come to the defense of President Joe Biden's recent comments regarding his schedule, asserting that the president is striving to strike a balance between his responsibilities and personal well-being. Biden reportedly conveyed to Democratic governors during a meeting at the White House his intention to prioritize getting more sleep and avoiding scheduling events after 8 p.m.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre emphasized that Biden acknowledges the importance of self-care, highlighting that the president, like everyone else, is human. Jean-Pierre underscored Biden's commitment to finding equilibrium and taking ownership of potentially overextending himself in the lead-up to recent events.
