Biden On His Rapidly Declining Poll Numbers: ‘I’m Not Running Because Of The Polls’
President Joe Biden claimed on Sunday that America is back because “everyone sought” him “out” at the G20 in Rome over the weekend as world leaders discussed climate change.
“Here in Rome, you’ve tried to showcase that America is back, but back at home, your poll numbers have fallen,” the Associated Press’ Zeke Miller said. “Your party’s nominee for governor of Virginia is facing a very tough — a tougher-than-expected race. Your party spent months trying to negotiate the centerpiece of your Democrat — of your domestic legislative agenda.”
“So why should the world believe that when you say ‘America is back,’ that really it’s here to stay?” Miller asked.
“Because of the way they reacted. You were here. They listened. Everyone sought me out,” Biden claimed. “They wanted to know what our views were. And we helped lead what happened here. It’s just very simple: You know, if you’re honest — you are honest; I didn’t mean to imply you weren’t — but that we were — we got significant support here. Significant support. We’re the most — the United States of America is the most critical part of this entire agenda, and — and we did it.”
“And, by the way, look, the polls are going to up and down and up and down. They were high early, then they got medium, then they went back up, and now they’re low,” Biden said, later adding, “But I’m not running because of the polls.”
