During a news conference from the White House, President Biden is asked about comments from Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), in which he said the midterm elections would be a "report card" on President Biden. The president said even though he and the minority leader are friends, it is Mitch McConnell's primary goal to "make sure that there's nothing I do that makes me look good, in his mind, with the public at large." The president goes on to criticize the Republican Party for being intimidated by former President Trump out of fear of losing an election
