On 11/9/2022, Joe Biden delivered remarks on the 2022 midterms and called on Preapproved List of 10 reporters. “The overwhelming majority of the American people support my economic agenda… I’m confident these policies are working,” said Biden. A reporter asked Joe Biden about the abysmal exit polls showing 75% of Americans are unhappy with the state of the union. 7 in 10 voters are unhappy with the state of the nation and largely negative on Joe Biden, according to CNN exit polls. A reporter asked Joe Biden,”You mentioned that Americans are frustrated. And, in fact, 75 percent of voters say the country is heading in the wrong direction, despite the results of last night. What in the next two years do you intend to do differently to change people’s opinion of the direction of the country, particularly as you contemplate a run for President in 2024?”
Biden: Nothing, because they’re just finding out what we’re doing. The more they know about what we’re doing, the more support there is … And we have more money in the — in the pot now already — already out there — we voted for — than the entire money we spent on Amtrak to begin with.
Biden: I hope Jill & I get a little time to actually sneak away for a week Xmas & Thanksgiving. A reporter asked Joe Biden, “How do you interpret last night’s results in terms of deciding whether you want to seek another term? Is it now more likely that you will run? And what’s going to be your timeline for consideration?” “By end of the year or early next year? Or what’s your — what’s you’re thinking?””
Biden: Well, I — my guess is — I hope Jill and I get a little time to actually sneak away for a week around — between Christmas and Thanksgiving. (Laughs.) And my guess is it would be early next year we make that judgment. Biden has spent 40% of his presidency on vacation.
A reporter asked Biden, “The issue is inflation. TheGrio and KFF conducted a study of Black voters that said inflation was the number one issue, and we saw it in this midterm election. What can you promise concretely in these next two years that will help turn the pocketbook for the better in the midst of staving off a recession?”
Biden: … We’re now in a situation where we’re providing, through the Small Business Administration, down payments for people buying homes, because most people accumulate wealth in the value of their home,
A few months after signing the “Inflation Reduction Act” Biden said “I can’t guarantee that we’re gonna be able to get rid of inflation.” “And so — but what I can’t do is I can’t guarantee that we’re going to be able to get rid of inflation, but I do think we can. We brought — we’ve already brought down the price of gasoline about $1.20 a gallon across the board. And I think that the — the — the — the oil companies are really doing the nation a real disservice …
And so — but I am optimistic, because we continue to grow and at a rational pace, we’re not anywhere near a recession right now, in terms of the growth. But I think we can have what most economists call a “soft landing.” I’m convinced that we’re going to be able to gradually bring down prices so that they, in fact, end up with us not having to move into a recession to be able to get control of inflation.”
“So I’m going to keep my commitment that no one — no one earning less than $400,000 a year — and that’s a lot of money, where I come from — are going to see their federal taxes go up … And while continuing to bring down the federal deficit.”
