White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Wednesday defended President Joe Biden’s decision to not travel to Jackson, Mississippi to highlight the water crisis that has seen the city’s more than 160,000 residence forced to rely on bottled water due to a failed water treatment and distribution system.
Speaking at her daily press briefing, Ms Jean-Pierre was asked if Mr Biden had reconsidered a decision to not visit the Magnolia State capital last week now that water pressure has been restored to the municipal water system.
