President Biden said Wednesday that he won’t change a thing about how he runs the country over the next two years in his first public comments since his fellow Democrats outperformed expectations in Tuesday’s midterm elections.
In his statement before taking questions from a pre-arranged list of reporters, Biden insisted that “an overwhelming majority of the American people support elements of my economic agenda” and restated some of his most factually-challenged claims about his accomplishments — including taking credit once again for a decline in the federal deficit that is actually down to the end of temporary aid programs necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Nothing,” Biden said when asked what he planned to do differently over the next two years ahead of a potential 2024 reelection bid, “because they’re just finding out what we’re doing. The more they know about what we’re doing, the more support there is.”
