POTUS walked into the waiting press area at 1:09 p.m.

He walked in with Senate Majority Leader John Thune.

He patted Thune on the back as he walked in.

He opened on the Iran War: “The war is going really well, we’re winning by a lot.”

He was asked about whether the election legislation is more important to you than solving the housing crisis: “Every election is important… They want a lot of communists to come in.”

He and Thune left the corridor at 1:10 p.m. to cheers.
