President Joe Biden told the media that he was “insulted” by a question asked to him by a member of the media Tuesday.

The question centered around current Georgia governor candidate Stacey Abrams’ absence from a Biden event which centered around voting rights in Atlanta.

“Any thoughts on Stacey Abrams skipping your speech today, sir? Are you insulted she’s skipping your speech?” asked a White House reporter ahead of Biden’s travel to the event.

Abrams, who has been a vocal proponent of voting rights in Georgia since she lost the 2018 gubernatorial election, said she missed the speech due to a “scheduling conflict”.

Generally, it is rare for candidates who are running for office to not attend events in their home state with a sitting President from the same party.
