President Joe Biden gave a forceful defense of his economic record at a rally in the final days before the midterm elections, warning that Republicans are backing policies that would gut the social safety net families need for retirement and health care.
Speaking at a campaign event for Democratic Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, Biden struck a populist chord, blaming big oil companies for high gas prices and the pharmaceutical industry for making prescription drugs tough to afford.
Biden’s appearance was part of a Western swing that took him to the West Coast later in the day for a get-out-the vote event with Rep. Mike Levin, D-Calif. His remarks suggested that as Election Day approaches he is returning to bread-and-butter issues that voters tend to prioritize. In fiery tones Thursday, Biden touted economic gains since he succeeded former President Donald Trump — or, as he called him, “my predecessor.”
US President Joe Biden speaks at a rally hosted by the Democratic Party of New Mexico at Ted M. Gallegos Community Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on November 3, 2022. Gas prices would drop further if only the major oil companies would make investments instead of using profits to buy back stock and enrich shareholders, he argued.
