The White House press secretary was asked if she believed the election was stolen by President Biden.

Jean-Pierre suggested the 2016 presidential contest and the Georgia governor's race were not conducted fairly on a number of occasions.

What about the 2016 election if we all agree that the 2020 election was not stolen? Jean-Pierre was asked by a reporter during the White House daily briefings.

We are going to concentrate on the here and now. She said they would focus on what was happening today.

Jean-Pierre criticized the reporter for asking the question.

Jean-Pierre said that the comparison was ridiculous. I was talking about the dangers of voting rights at that time.

Jean-Pierre said that he knew this was coming.

She said she was waiting when Peter was going to ask her the question.

Biden slammed Republicans loyal to Trump as a threat to democracy, saying there was "no question that the Republican Party today is dominated, driven and intimidated by Donald Trump and theMAGA Republicans." That is a danger to this country.

Many conservative critics, including on Fox News, have criticized Biden's remarks as deliberately divisive and partisan.

At 1:40 p.m., there was a new update.
