White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre made a bizarre statement on social media, claiming in a since-deleted post that she once ran for president of the United States.
"Investing in America means investing in ALL of America," read Jean-Pierre's statement on social media. "When I ran for President, I made a promise that I would leave no part of the country behind."

The statement was made on X, the social media platform once known as Twitter, and was posted to the platform at 3:05 p.m. EDT. Less than 30 minutes later, the post was deleted.
Screenshots of the deleted post on X have been shared by other users on the platform, with some wondering if the post had been intended to be posted on President Joe Biden's account.

While it is not known for certain if the statement was supposed to be posted on Biden's account, a statement on Biden's presidential account posted at the same time as Jean-Pierre's statement had mentioned a "$3 billion in investment" for wind energy in the U.S.
