Joe Biden says his administration has 'outperformed' in bruising first year
Joe Biden on Wednesday conceded that the unshakable threat of the Covid-19 pandemic had left many Americans demoralized, but insisted that his administration had “outperformed” expectations despite the myriad crises facing the nation during his first year in office.
Speaking to reporters in the East Room of the White House for his first solo news conference in months, the US president said he was confident Democrats could pass “big chunks” of his sprawling domestic policy bill currently stalled in the Senate before the 2022 midterm elections.
But Biden spoke as Senate Democrats were pressing ahead with what appeared to be a hopeless attempt to enact voting rights protections over unified Republican opposition.
“It’s been a year of challenges but it’s also been a year of enormous progress,” Biden said, outlining the administration’s early successes: passing coronavirus relief aid that slashed child poverty rates and a bipartisan infrastructure law that will shower funding for major public works projects on every state in the nation.
