Washington [US], November 10 (ANI): US President on Wednesday, called the mid-term elections a “Good Day” for Democracy and took a dig at Republicans stating that the Giant ‘Red Wave’ did not happen.
While delivering the remarks at the mid-term polls, Biden said “Our Democracy has been tested in recent years, but with the votes of American people we have proved once again that it’s Democracy who we are,” he said. He further remarked at the ‘Red Wave’ that the Republicans were quite hopeful for in the midterm polls.
“The whole results are not known yet, but is what we know, the press and the pundits are predicting that the giant ‘Red Wave’ didn’t happen,” he said.
Biden also said that the Democrats did lose seats but the loss is lesser than what was being expected by many.
“Many good Democrats were not able to win, but still we lost fewer seats than a Democratic President in last 40 years. Also, we had the best mid-term for governors since 1986,” he further said.
Biden also took a dig at former President Donald Trump and Florida governor Ron DeSantis. On being asked about who would be tougher competition in the general election, Biden said “It would be fun watching them take on each other.”
However, Biden hinted that in early 2023 he will be making up his mind on whether he will be running for reelection.
The president stressed that he intends to run again, but he doesn’t feel pressure to announce his reelection campaign, regardless of whether former President Trump announces another White House bid.
“I hope Jill and I get a little time to actually sneak away for a week around, between Christmas and Thanksgiving. My guess is it will be early next year we make that judgment,” he said.
The US President claimed that the country is in a much better position than what he inherited at the start of his presidency.
“We inherited a nation that was raging with the pandemic and the economy was reeling. We have taken several steps which are getting underway, and the results will be seen in January, and February next year.(ANI)
