On Monday, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki avoided answering several questions related to Georgia’s new election integrity laws and Biden’s now-debunked claims and the MLB’s boycotting the state.
When asked, “Is the President going to change the way that he talks about the new Georgia voting law?”
“Because in that interview that you’ve referenced, he said, ‘the law would end voting at five o’clock when working people are just getting off,’ and he said it would end voting hours early so working people can’t have their vote after their shift is over. But The Washington Post gave that claim four Pinocchios because that part of the law gives counties the option to extend voting hours. And so I’m just curious if the President is going to change the way that he’s talking.”
BOOM: Peter Doocy points out the fact that even The Washington Post found President Biden's claims about the Georgia voting law to be factually inaccurate and asked if he'll change how he talks about it.

After initially deflecting, Psaki said, “Well, again, I think the fact checkers will also tell you that this bill does not make it easier for people across the state of Georgia to vote, and that’s where he has concerns.”
Under questioning from Peter Doocy, Jen Psaki refuses to admit that Biden's support for MLB moving the All-Star Game out of Atlanta was a way of the White House putting their thumbs on the scales.

Psaki continued to receive questions regarding the President’s view of the MLB removing the league’s All-Star game from Atlanta in response to the GA election reform law. Her responses did not address the questions presented. She also downplayed the administration’s stance on the issues.
