WH spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre mocked for misfire: now-deleted tweet said she ran for president

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was widely mocked on social media for a now-deleted post on X, the platform previously called Twitter, where she yesterday claimed she ran for president. 

“Investing in America means investing in ALL of America,” the post read. “When I ran for President, I made a promise that I would leave no part of the country behind.”

Some speculate that Jean-Pierre logged into the wrong twitter account and meant to send that tweet from President Biden's account. 

“Oh wow! They tweeted from the wrong account! @PressSec Karine Jean-Pierre has not run for President, at least to the best of my knowledge,” Simon Ateba, Today News Africa's chief White House correspondent wrote on X.

Others speculate that an intern was behind the tweet.

“Is Karine Jean-Pierre writing Joe Biden’s tweets or are they using the same intern,” Babylon Bee writer Ashley St. Clair wrote.  

Pierre has not responded to the inquiries of the social media post.
