Biden: 'I'm Not Going to Change Direction'; 'I'm Not Going to Change Anything'
"I'm not going to change direction," President Biden said several times at his post-election news conference.
He was responding to a reporter who noted that 75 percent of voters say the country is headed in the wrong direction: "What in the next two years do you intend to do differently to change people’s opinion of the direction of the country?" the reporter asked.
"Nothing," Biden said, "because they’re just finding out what we’re doing. The more they know about what we’re doing, the more support there is.
"Do you know anybody who wants us to get rid of the change we made on prescription drug prices and raise prices again?" Biden asked. "Do you know anybody who wants us to walk away from building those roads and bridges and — and the Internet and so on? I don’t — I don’t know any- —
"I think that the problem is the major piece of legislation we passed — and some of it bipartisan — takes time to be recognized."
Biden said much of his agenda "is just starting to kick in."
