President Joe Biden on Wednesday asked if Indiana GOP Rep. Jackie Walorski, who died last month, was present at a White House conference.
President Joe Biden on Wednesday asked if a congresswoman who died last month was present at a White House food insecurity conference.
Walorski, who was 58, died in August in a car accident that also killed two of her staffers. She began serving in Congress in 2013. Before her death, the congresswoman was the co-chair of the House Hunger Caucus. When Jean-Pierre was read the president's remarks about Walorski, she responded,"I totally understand. I just explained — she was top of mind. You know, what we were able to witness today and what the President was able to lift up at this conference, at this event was how her focus on wanting to deal with, combat food insecurity in America. And it's something he was lifting up and honoring.
"We may have represented different parties and disagreed on many issues, but she was respected by members of both parties for her work on the House Ways and Means Committee on which she served," Biden's statement last month said.
