PRESIDENT BIDEN ON GENERATIONS ‘CHANGING’ IF DEMOCRATS LOSE THE MIDTERMS:

“The next four to five to six years is going to determine what this country looks like for the next 30 to 35 years,” BIDEN said at a fundraiser in New York. “And I don’t think that’s hyperbole. I think that’s literally — literally true.”

BACKGROUND:
  • In December 2021, American Faith reported President Joe Biden’s economic ratings were worse than Jimmy Carter’s, an ominous sign for overall presidential legacy.
  • Not only did Biden sport the lowest net economic rating one year into his presidency since Carter, but it was 18 points worse than the average president’s at such a point in the presidency. 
  • 67% of respondents at the time told pollsters that government spending is a “major problem,” 70% said high gas costs were a “major problem,” 77% said the rising cost of housing is a “major problem,” 79% said supply-chain disruptions are a “major problem,” and 80% said rising cost of food and everyday goods is a “major problem.”
  • If Republicans win back the House of Representatives in the midterms, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) plans to launch at least seven investigations into Democrat President Joe Biden’s administration.
