Political observers have blamed United States President Joe Biden for the dismal results for Democrats in the Nov. 2 election. President Biden does not appear to share their beliefs.
Asked by a reporter if his policies are behind trending Democrat losses, Biden replied, “I just think people are at a point — and it’s understandable — where there’s a whole lot of confusion.”
The Nov. 2 election saw Virginia voters elect Republican Glen Youngkin as Governor and return control of its House of Delegates to the Republicans.
A Telemundo reporter interviewed a Spanish-speaking Virginia voter exiting a polling place Tuesday. Standing in front of a sign for Democrat Terry McAuliffe, the Hispanic man explained why he did not vote for the Democratic candidate for governor.
“I believe that Biden turned me into a Republican,” the voter said. “Biden is destroying the economy. Inflation is through the roof and everything is terrible.”
Launched by Media Research Center, MRC Latino is a Spanish Conservative watchdog outlet. The Spanish network also aired a separate interview with Virginia voter Astrid Gamez, who said the election will reflect that Republicans, especially minorities, showed up to vote. “Because I’m sick of people stigmatizing me (for being) a Republican, and me being expected not to speak up,” she said.
New Jersey’s Governor clung to a 65,000 vote margin, out of 2.5 million ballots, to barely retain his job.
New Jersey Senate President Stephen Sweeney lost his reelection bid to a truck driver who has never held political office before. Sweeney first won his seat in 2002. Truck driver Edward Durr reportedly spent just $2,300 during his successful campaign to unseat Sweeney, which says something about voter sentiment because the teacher’s union spent $5 million trying to defeat him in the 2017 election. Durr’s campaign video was recorded using his mobile phone.
Fox News host Jesse Watters objected to Biden’s characterization of the American people as “confused.”
“We’re not confused,” Watters on his Saturday evening show. “The American people aren’t stupid. We know exactly what’s going on and we don’t like it. Biden’s agenda isn’t our agenda. We want lower prices, cheaper gas, stronger borders. But Biden keeps serving us vax mandates and places to plug in our electric cars. We don’t even drive electric cars! Here was the key in Virginia: the left started a critical race theory culture war and they lost.”
