CBS’ Nancy Cordes: Prisoner Swap with Russia Is a ‘Major Win’ for Joe Biden
‘There’s no question that this will be a much-desired change of storyline for the President’
EXCERPT:
ANCHOR: "Nancy, we can't separate the fact that we are less than 100 days out from an election. And despite the fact that President Biden is no longer in that race, how significant a win is this for the administration?"
CORDES: "I think it's -- you know, it's -- it's a -- it's a major win for a president who has been pretty beaten down lately, frankly. I mean, he did not want to leave the race. He resisted it for weeks, even as members of his own party argued that he should go, that he had lost a step. He made the case over and over again that he was able to do the job, that he had gotten a lot done in his first term and that he was prepared to get a lot done in his second term.”
