Did Joe Biden really say that the 2022 election could be 'illegitimate'?

At Wednesday's press conference, President Joe Biden was asked a simple question. It was this: "Speaking of voting rights legislation, if this isn't passed, do you still believe the upcoming election will be fairly conducted and its results will be legitimate?"
The easy answer -- and the one Biden's White House wishes he gave -- goes something like this: "Yes, despite all of the Republicans' attempts to limit who can vote and when, I ultimately have faith in the American political system's ability to produce a free and fair election."
He didn't say that. What he did say has ignited a debate about whether Biden believes that the 2022 election could well be illegitimate -- so much so that White House press secretary Jen Psaki was forced to clarify via tweet on Thursday morning: "Lets be clear: @potus was not casting doubt on the legitimacy of the 2022 election."
In an attempt to clear all of this up, let's go through what Biden actually said.
