3 substantive takeaways from Biden’s one-year news conference

Annie Andersen: CABLE STATIONS CONTINUE TO BREAK DOWN PRESIDENT BIDEN’S NEWS CONFERENCE.

A LOT OF THEIR TALK IS JUST PARTISAN CHATTER… BUT WHAT ARE THE IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTE THAT MAYBE SLIPPED BY?

LETS BREAK IT DOWN. 

ONE- VOTING RIGHTS

SENATE REPUBLICANS KILLED THE VOTING RIGHTS LEGISLATION ON THE TABLE…

THEY SAY THEY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT ELECTION SAFETY… DEMOCRATS SAYING REPUBLICANS WANT TO MAKE VOTING HARDER FOR PEOPLE. 

AND THEN THIS INTERACTION:

TAKE SOT- BIDEN

<<”Speaking of voting rights legislation, if this isn’t passed, do you still believe the upcoming election will be fairly conducted and its results will be legitimate? THE PRESIDENT:  Well, it all depends on whether or not we’re able to make the case to the American people that some of this is being set up to try to alter the outcome of the election.”>>

Annie Andersen: REPUBLICAN SENATOR BEN SASSE CATCHING THAT AND PUSHING BACK ON IT. TELLING CNN-

“ If you’re the President…you affirm public trust in our elections. Sadly, both the current president and the former president repeatedly, pathetically equivocate.”

TWO- BUILD BACK BETTER… BIDEN’S SOCIAL SAFETY NET PLAN COULD BE COMING BACK TO LIFE.. 

ALTHOUGH NOT AS A 2 TRILLION DOLLAR BILL. 

TAKE SOT- BIDEN

<<“It’s clear to me that we’re going to have to probably break it up/ I think it’s clear that we would be able to get the $500-plus billion for energy and the environment issues that are there.”>>

Annie Andersen AND THREE- A SLIP OF THE TONGUE… THIS TIME WHEN IT COMES TO RUSSIA.

TAKE SOT- BIDEN

“<<Russia will be held accountable if it invades.  And it depends on what it does.  It’s one thing if it’s a minor incursion and then we end up having a fight about what to do and not do.”>>

Annie Andersen INCURSION- THAT WORD ALREADY HAVING MAJOR FALL OUT with Ukrainian officials.

TAKE SOT-CNN

<<”One Ukrainian official who I’ve been in close contact with, while this marathon press conference is underway, said that he was, I’m quoting here shocked that President Biden would give a green light to Vladimir Putin.”>>

Annie Andersen: THE WHITE HOUSE ATTEMPTING TO CLEAN IT UP

TAKE SOT- Biden

<<”If any, any assembled Russian units move across the Ukrainian border, that is an invasion that will be met with severe and coordinated economic response that I’ve discussed in detail with our allies as well as laid out very clearly for president Putin.”>>

Annie Andersen: LEGISLATION, ELECTIONS, AND FOREIGN POLICY… THOSE ARE JUST THREE THINGS OF NOTE… AS BIDEN OFFICIALLY HITS HIS ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY TODAY.

STRAIGHT FROM DC I’M ANNIE ANDERSEN
