Biden declared the election 'a good day' for democracy and said he still intends to run for his own 2nd term in 2024 — but he's in no rush to announce his final decision 'no matter what my predecessor does.”
The Senate majority appeared to rest on Nevada and a likely runoff in Georgia. But administration officials and their allies viewed the results as validation of Biden’s policy successes and his bet that focusing broadly on Republican extremism would help repel voters, despite Democrats in many of the toughest races seeking distance from the president and vice president themselves.
The surprising results represented one of the best midterm elections for a party in power in nearly a century. Yet while it gave the White House a considerable psychological and political boost, it doesn’t exhaust the questions the president and his team face. For starters, the House is still likely to fall to Republicans, forcing the administration to greatly curtail its ambitions.
Sens. Catherine Cortez Masto and Mark Kelly made clear to the White House early on to keep Biden at bay, and POLITICO reported Wednesday that Senate candidate. Biden came anyway, and Fetterman won the race. Biden began watching Tuesday’s election unfold from the White House residence, before moving onto the Roosevelt room where he was joined by his advisers. He then retired to the dining room of the complex to make a battery of congratulatory calls, finishing up with an early morning text to Fetterman, who bested TV celebrity Mehmet Oz in a battle that emerged as an early proxy war between Biden and former President Donald Trump.
