Biden touts 'strong night' for Democrats as party defies expectations

President Joe Biden addressed election results for the first time Wednesday, saying it was a "strong night" for Democrats as the party defied expectations and avoided a Republican blowout.

"It was a good day, I think, for democracy. And I think it was a good day for America," Biden said as he delivered remarks from the State Dining Room at the White House. He added, "Our democracy has been tested in recent years but with their votes the American people have spoken and proven once again that democracy is who we are."

"While the press and the pundits were predicting a giant red wave, it didn't happen," Biden said.

As of Wednesday afternoon, the battle for control of the House and Senate was still up in the air as several key races remained too close to call.

Corporate media created the imaginary red wave and now they are surprised it did not come true.

Fake polls, lots of cash from the filthy rich and constant propaganda doesn't always work.
