“I didn’t overpromise.” Pres. Biden reacts to question on his first-year job performance, saying he probably “outperformed what anybody thought would happen.”
Questioned at one point on the falling numbers indicating Americans are unhappy with his job performance, Biden replied bluntly,"I don't believe the polls."
"Some people may call what's happening now a new normal. I call it a job not yet finished," Biden said with confidence."We're moving toward a time that COVID-19 won't disrupt our daily lives or COVID-19 won't be a crisis, but something to protect against and a threat. Look, we're not there yet. We will get there.
Biden told Bruce,"I'm confident we can get pieces -- big chunks of the Build Back Better law signed into law" -- appearing to back breaking up the landmark legislation publicly for the first time. However, in a couple of answers on Ukraine, NATO, and Russia, Biden all but admitted NATO is not united on how to respond and seemed to draw a red line short of an all-out invasion for a unified Western response -- potentially giving Putin space for something less than troops crossing the border, but still highly destabilizing for Ukraine.
Speaking to his personal performance, Biden outlined three things he would do differently in his second year in office. He said he intended to get out of Washington more often to meet with Americans face to face, welcome"more advice from outside experts" for constructive criticism and become"deeply involved in these off-year elections" as the midterms approach.
