MEYERS: “You talked about bipartisanship and that you can actually work across the aisle when you ran in 2020. I was one of the people who thought that was maybe a foolish proposition, but you have gotten things done, infrastructure, chips, Inflation Reduction Act, some gun safety. You even got an immigration bill that passed in the Senate, but never got taken up in the House.”
Biden: “It will be.”
MEYERS: “What do you — what do you wanna do? What’s your 2024 agenda? ’cause I feel like we live in such crazy times that that is one of the things I feel we hear less about.”
Biden: “Look, the 2020 agenda is to finish the job. For example, we’re now in a position where we have the strongest economy of any major nation in the world, number one. We’ve got a way to go yet. Inflation is down. 880,000 manufacturing jobs. You know, we have 14 million new jobs. The unemployment rate is the lowest it’s been for the longest time. We’re building wealth for people. But really, we have to do more. First thing I have to do is stop it from being turned around. For example, you talked about the border, it didn’t pass. Well, guess what? We’re going to pass that border. It’s overwhelmingly, overwhelmingly supported by Republicans and Democrats in the House and Senate. But because — I don’t know this for a fact, but I was told that Trump was picking up the phone calling the speaker of the House saying, ‘Don’t let it pass.’ Why? Not because he doesn’t think it’s good, but because it will benefit Biden. That’s no way to run a country. That’s no way to deal. Even when we had real divisions, back when I was a young senator, among Democrats and Republicans, that wasn’t the way it worked. And, look, I think — I mean, this is not your father’s Republican Party. This is — you got about 30% of the Republican Party controlling it all, and I think it’s — we’re going to break it.”
