Biden: Midterm elections showed strength of US democracy

U.S. President Joe Biden said on Monday (November 14) that the U.S. midterm elections showed the strength and resiliency of U.S. democracy and was a rejection of so-called "election deniers" who have falsely argued the 2020 election was rigged.

"What we saw was the strength and resilience of American democracy and we saw it in action," Biden told reporters at the start of a news conference in Indonesia, where he is traveling.

"There was a strong rejection of political violence and voter intimidation. There was an emphatic statement that in America, the will of the people prevails," he said.

Biden's Democrats maintained control of the Senate in the election despite predictions that Republicans would capture Congress in a broad victory.

The election has shown voters are happy with the way the country and world of going. They are happy with record high crime year after year and the record high inflation, they are also showing their approval with the state of world stability by voting back the same party into undisputed power.

Look at democracy. There are two political parties. Just like asking your son, who doesn't want to eat vegetables, whether want to eat carrots or cabbage, he will eat vegetables anyway.

Joe has been doing an amazing job, his international negotiation skills are second to none. With a lesser leader, the economy would have tanked, stock market tanked, crypto tanked and we would be on the verge of a nuclear war. ~Thanks Joe
