Q Mr. President, what has your reaction been to the Herschel Walker controversy in Georgia? And do you think Democrats can hold that seat?
THE PRESIDENT: Negative. And yes.
Q Mr. President, Blumenthal and Khanna right now, they’re calling for a stopping of U.S. arm sales to Saudi Arabia. Do you support that legislation?
THE PRESIDENT: We’re going to react to Saudi Arabia, and they’re doing consultation when they come back. And we will take action.
Q What’s your reaction to recent Russian attacks on civilian infrastructure in Ukraine?
THE PRESIDENT: Same as it’s always been: It’s brutal. It’s just — it’s beyond the pale.
Q You said you would be open to meeting with Vladimir Putin to discuss Brittney Griner. Have you seen any movement on that front?
THE PRESIDENT: Not with Putin.
Q You want to codify Roe v. Wade, sir, right?
