President Joe Biden on Friday suggested that more moderate Republicans aren't running for office in part because of their concern about their physical well-being.
But, he added, “I think that we’re going to see one more shift back to our side in the closing days.”
Biden said he was optimistic because “We’re starting to see some of the good news on the economy.” He noted gas prices have fallen in recent weeks and new federal data showed state unemployment was at an all-time low in 11 states and that 17 states had jobless rates below 3%.a new report showing the deficit has shrunk in half from last year“Republicans criticized my economic record, but look at what I’ve inherited, and what I’ve done and look at what they’re offering,” Biden said.
Biden sharply criticized Republican plans to maintain tax cuts on the nation’s wealthiest and undo his efforts to bring down prescription drug costs for seniors on Medicare. He claimed the GOP’s proposals would raise the deficit by $3 trillion, and labeled their policies “mega-MAGA trickle-down.”“It’s the kind of policies that have failed the country before and will fail it again and will mean more wealth to the very wealthy, higher inflation for the middle class,” Biden said.
In the MSNBC interview, Biden also said his wife, Jill Biden, has encouraged him to run for reelection. He said, “my wife thinks that I -- that we’re -- that we’re doing something very important, and I shouldn’t walk away from it,” Biden said. He added that while he intends to run for a second term he is not ready to officially announce his reelection campaign.Check out https://apnews.com/hub/explaining-the-elections to learn more about the issues and factors at play in the 2022 midterm elections.
