The cast visited the White House briefing room on Monday ahead of the meeting with the Bidens.
No matter who you are, no matter where you live, no matter who you voted for, we all probably I assume, we all know someone who has or had been that someone ourselves actually, thats struggled, thats felt isolated, thats felt anxious, that has felt alone, Sudeikis said from the press secretarys podium. Its actually one of the many things, that believe it or not, that we all have in common as human beings.
Sudeikis said President Biden and his team were working on making sure Americans know about the options that are available to help with mental health, and White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said it was a cornerstone of Bidens unity agenda.
I know in this town, a lot of folks dont always agree right? And dont always feel heard seen listened to, Sudeikis said. But I truly believe that we should all do our best to help take care of each other.
