President Joe Biden speaks at the White House and takes questions after Democrats outperformed midterm expectations.
Democracy doesn’t happen by accident. We have to defend, strengthen, and renew it.
I’ll have more to say this afternoon, but thanks to the poll workers and officials that worked into the night to safeguard our sacred right to vote. And the millions who made their voices heard.
— President Biden (@POTUS) November 9, 2022
Biden’s remarks come as the balance of power in both chambers of Congress remains unknown after Democrats held off Republicans in several key races.
