- President Biden told reporters on Monday that he was “optimistic” about Tuesday’s midterm elections, but admitted it would be a “tough” race for Democrats when it comes to keeping control of the House.
- “I’m feeling, feeling optimistic. But I’m always optimistic,” Biden said as he arrived at the White House. He campaigned for Sen. Chris Van Hollen and Maryland gubernatorial candidate Wes Moore at Bowie State University earlier that day.
- Biden responded less enthusiastically when a reporter asked if Democrats could keep their House majority.
