'I don't even understand': Peter Doocy's 'awkward' question stumps Karine Jean-Pierre

Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy flummoxed White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre by suggesting that President Joe Biden's Tuesday meeting with Vice President Kamala Harris would be an "awkward" situation.

Doocy made the remark during Tuesday's White House briefing.

"We know that today, a week after the election, President Biden and Vice President Harris had a private lunch," the Fox News correspondent noted. "How awkward was that?"

"I don't even understand," a surprised Jean-Pierre replied. "Why would it be awkward?"

"Because the President got squeezed out for her, and then she kept him at arm's length, and then she lost, and now she's back," Doocy said.

"Why would you characterize it as awkward?" the press secretary wondered. "They have regular lunches. They meet and talk regularly. Why would you call it awkward?"

Doocy argued there might be "weirdness about the way that things have unfolded since" the election.

"Did you see them together yesterday, as well, when they honored our veterans and were together during the day, making sure that we didn't forget the brave men and women that fought for this country?" Jean-Pierre pointed out. "Did you see them together yesterday?"

"They had an opportunity to discuss the last 70 days or so of this administration, how important it is to get things done for the American people," she added. "And that's their focus. That is genuinely their focus."
