Buttigieg: It’s Difficult to List Biden’s Accomplishments in a ‘Distilled Way’

‘This president has exceeded expectations again and again’

EXCERPT:

BUTTIGIEG: "Well, look, these things don't sell themselves. And it's one of the reasons I'm really looking forward to that State of the Union address. I will say that there have been so many accomplishments under this administration, it can be difficult to list them in a distilled way. Recently, the President hosted a send-off for Ron Klain, the departing Chief of Staff, and he put it in a way that I thought was especially moving. When you think back in historic terms to what it means to inherit one of the toughest situations faced by any president since FDR, pass the most significant legislation on our economy in many ways since FDR, while facing the largest land war in Europe since Truman, achieving the second-most-important health care bill since LBJ and the most important infrastructure bill since Eisenhower, as Ron put it -- and that was just the beginning of the list of accomplishments. But one of the things that we found is that this is happening simultaneously with some of the toughest circumstances ever. We recognize that.”
