Joe Biden

Joe Biden needs to do more, whether it’s COVID response, whether it’s with the economy, or combination of the two.

But it`s not enough. It`s clearly not enough if we`d known we would have gone harder, quicker if we could have. We`re going to continue to use the Defense Production Act to produce as many tests as possible.

I look to my medical team. When I get a recommendation, I follow it.

There is no federal solution. This gets solved at the state level.

We are going to build it and we`re going to build it back better.

Benefits Everybody. Hurts nobody.

Finally, infrastructure week.

If you need something, say something.

We went from no over-the-counter tests in January to 46 million in October, a hundred million in November and almost 200 million in December. But it's not enough. It's clearly not enough. If I had -- we had known, we would have gotten…

It's not enough. It's clearly not enough. If I had known, we would have gotten harder quicker if we could have.

But it’s not enough. It’s clearly not enough. If I had -- we had known, we would have gone harder, quicker. But we have to do more. We have to do better.

I still think there`s a possibility of getting Build Back Better done. Senator Manchin and I are going to get something done.

Well, look, I want to get as much as I can possibly get done is extremely consequential.

Look, let`s talk about what we have done. We have passed more major legislation than anybody in the first year ever, ever, ever, ever. And I haven`t given up on this. I haven`t given up on it.

The only thing standing between getting votes right legislation passed and not getting passed is the filibuster. I support making the exception of voting rights for the filibuster.

Joe and I are going to make a deal.

I don`t think it`s a failure. I think it`s - - you could argue that we should have known A year ago, six months ago, two months ago, a month ago, I`ve ordered half a billion of the pills, 500 million pills. Excuse me, 500 million test kits…

Packages are moving. Gifts are going delivered. Shelves are not empty.

Marty, you`ve done a hell of a job, pal, cutting the red tape so that companies can set up, registered apprenticeships for truck drivers in two days instead of two months.

Well, look, Omicron only really came on the scene just before Thanksgiving.

No, nothing`s been good enough.

No, I don`t think it`s a failure.

Sure. Why would I not run against Donald Trump if he is the nominee? That increased the prospect of running.

Yes. But look, I'm a great respecter of fate. Fate has intervened in my life many, many times. If I'm in the health I'm in now, if I'm in good health, then in fact, I would run again.
