And one of the most important parts of understanding Joe Biden is understanding his refusal to accept defeat. And it's, look, it's one of the things that we love about politicians or any sort of public figure. He gets knocked down, he gets back up again. And that's part of the ethos of Joe Biden, right?

The midterms went better than expected, better than they had for Clinton or Obama in their first terms. Now, I think that a lot of the reason for that was despite Joe Biden, not because of Joe Biden. It was because of and this is according to his own pollsters and people close to him.

He did better than everyone thought in the midterms because there was a very engaged Democratic electorate because of the overturning of Roe v. Wade that year. And because Trump had gotten involved in a lot of primaries and backed not the best candidate for the general election, whether Blake Masters in Arizona or Herschel Walker in Georgia. But regardless, yeah, the midterms weren't as bad.
