Clyburn: Biden ‘Has a Very Good Story to Tell’ If You Compare Today with Where We Were Two Years Ago

EXCERPT:

CLYBURN: "Well, we're progressing very well. Thank you very much for having me. I think people are comparing today with where we were two years ago. And when those comparisons are made, I think the President has a very good story to tell. And I hope that that’s the way he will approach this tonight. Look at where we were two years ago when we took office and where we are today. How many children have been lifted out of poverty? For the first time now in decades, we have an infrastructure bill that is rebuilding roads and bridges, that's taking care of water and sewage, doing things that people have been talking about for five or six years. Then look at the Inflation Reduction Act. It didn’t go as far as the House proposed it. We wanted to see things like the cap on insulin for everybody. The Senate did not agree, but they did put the cap on -- for Medicare people. That’s a better place for them than we were two years ago. And you go down through the PACT Act, the Safer Communities Act, the Chips and Science Act -- all of these things are new to the American people and they’re beginning to take hold. And I think by the end of this year, long before we get into the election year, people will begin to see -- reap the fruits of our labors."
