Joe Biden

No, I don't think it's a failure. I think it's a -- you could argue that we should have known a year ago, six months ago, two months ago, a month ago, I've ordered a half a billion of the pills -- 500 million pills -- excuse me, 500…

It's been considered, but the recommendation I've gotten is, it is not necessary.

This is not Christmas last year and it's not the beginning of the pandemic because of vaccinations.

Sure, it was possible, and it is possible there could be other variants that come along.

How did we get it wrong? Nobody saw it coming. Nobody in the whole world saw it coming.

And at the end of 2021, with what one analysts described as the strongest first-year economic track record of any president in the last 50 years, nearly six million new jobs, a record number for a new president, because of my staff and my…

The much predicted crisis didn’t occur. Packages are moving. Gifts are being delivered. Shelves are not empty.

The QAnon and the extreme elements of the Republican Party and what Donald Trump keeps sort of, seems to me, feeding -- with the big lie, it makes it awful hard.

I still think there is a possibility of getting Build Back Better done.

It is possible there could be other variants that come along. It’s possible.

Well, what took so long is it didn`t take long at all. What happened was the omicron virus spread even more rapidly than anybody thought.

More than 200 million Americans have been fully vaccinated.

I know you`re tired. I really mean this. And I know you`re frustrated. We all want this to be over. But we`re still in it.

Former President Trump announced he`s had gotten his booster shot. Maybe one of the few things he and I agree on.

I call on them to purveyors to these lies and misinformation to stop it, stop it now.

This is not March of 2020. 200 million people are fully vaccinated. We`re prepared. We know more. We just have to stay focused.

The most important thing, as the president said today, is that vaccines and booster work.

Another question that folks are asking is, are we going back to March 2020? Not last March 2021, but March 2020 when the pandemic first hit. That’s what I keep getting asked. The answer is absolutely no, no. This is not arch of 2020, 200…

Booster shots provide the strongest protection. Unfortunately, we still have tens of millions of people who are eligible for the booster shot who would have not yet gotten it. Just another day, former President Trump announced he had…

We`ll see some fully vaccinated people get COVID potentially in large numbers. Vaccinated people who get COVID may get ill, but they`re protected from severe illness and death. If you`re not fully vaccinated, you have good reason to be…

I still think there's a possibility to Build Back Better done.

But the alarm bell going off, I don't think anybody anticipated that this was going to be as rapidly spreading as it did.

We should all be concerned about omicron, but not panicked. And no, this is not March of 2020. Two hundred million people are fully vaccinated. We're prepared. We know more. We just have to stay focused.

It’s important to impart because Joe Biden promised that he would govern in -- to an America that was diverse.

On Saturday, the Senate confirmed his 40th federal judicial nominee, the most since Ronald Reagan 40 years ago.
