At a campaign event in Chicago, Biden highlighted this week’s contests in Kentucky, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
President Joe Biden is celebrating his party’s election wins this week and claiming credit for some of the victories, including the Kentucky governor’s re-election.
In his first public remarks about Tuesday’s elections, Biden said at a campaign event Thursday night that his administration’s policies were resonating with voters.
“The Biden-Harris agenda has taken hold,” he said at a campaign fundraiser in Chicago. “People are winning elections on it over and over and over.”
I mean, he’s not wrong. Policies he pushed - which are immensely popular, despite right-wing whinging about them - earned support from Democratic candidates and activists, and that support in turn earned them wins on Tuesday.
Turns out, people like functional government.
You may very well be correct, but the article that we’re responding to suggests that it’s more complicated and that a lot of those victories were grassroots campaigns largely separate from The Biden Administration.
