Biden defends first year record, says he 'didn't overpromise,' but 'outperformed,' made 'enormous progress'

President Biden on Wednesday defended his record during his first year in office, saying he "didn’t overpromise," but instead "outperformed," maintaining the "enormous progress" his administration has made and vowed to "stay on track" going forward.

During his first press conference in months—his tenth since taking office—the president was asked whether he overpromised on what he could achieve during his first year at the White House, as the country grapples with rising inflation, a surge in the highly-transmissible omicron variant of COVID-19, and as his legislative agenda is stalled in Congress.
