LOL Psaki suggests CDC might issue new guidance to close indoor dining...all part of their pressure campaign to get their $1.9 trillion COVID package passed which includes $500 billion for schools, colleges. There is ZERO science to justify closing bars, restaurants
Asked if Biden will travel to other states to rally support for COVID package. Blames pandemic for the president refusing to travel--taking "creative steps" to reach Americans.
Oof reporter points out he can travel with vaccine and safety precautions.

So the questions are getting a little tougher. Psaki isn't prepared. She gets a Q about Cuomo underreporting nursing home deaths, she won't comment, says to ask DOJ because the DOJ is "independent" now.
First Q on GameStop. Like the past few days, she refers to SEC statement. No further comment.
Another Q about Pelosi's dangerous comments that House GOP pose an internal threat. Again she refuses to answer.
Oof reporter asks about Politico story that Biden warned his family about business deals. Psaki won't divulge "private" family convos--reads policy statement about not using family name for business pursuits.
Ummm Psaki says Biden will not address GameStop controversy with his economic team today. Reporter pushes back that it's a "big story" but Psaki again punts, says economic recovery is their priority
Another Q on GameStop, she laughs. "The government is working the way it should, SEC has issued several statements this week." Refers reporters to statements again.
Reporter finally asks when Biden will be in briefing room. You can sense reporters are pushing back on Biden's public absence, no in-person meetings with lawmakers, no travel.
Psaki claims 74% of American public supports Biden's COVID bill. Now asked whether NATO allies are paying their fair share and if Biden will push on that. She says something
