The White House is still reeling from Tuesday’s elections, and has continued to deflect any questions on the subject.
Press Secretary Josh Earnest did his best to keep the mood light and respond to the press Thursday, however, his audience was not impressed.
"Would you say that Tuesday night was a big loss for Democrats?" a reporter asked.
To the dismay of his audience, Earnest declined to answer directly since it would not be appropriate for him to offer any sort of "punditry."
"There are lots of people who get paid a lot more money than I do, who are responsible for offering up analysis and spinning the elections," Earnest said. "I’m not going to do that."
After some prodding from the press, Earnest expressed his frustration, saying, "I’m certainly disappointed with the outcome of the elections–the president is too."
