Pres. Biden predicts Sen. Joe Manchin, despite complaints, will support his domestic agenda:
ABC News Chief Meteorologist Ginger Zee discusses the global impact of climate change.President Joe Biden's spent his last hours on his overseas trip holding a news conference to tout U.S. climate policies and what he called"significant progress" made at the COP26 summit -- but he was also forced to respond to Democratic infighting over his climate change policies and social agenda at home.
"With regard to the issue of whether or not he thinks that he's worried about this being inflationary or negative impact on the economy, I think that I made it clear to Joe and will continue to," Biden said."Seventeen Nobel laureates on economics said it's going to lower inflation and raise wages and increase competition and create two million jobs in a year, et cetera."President Joe Biden listens to a question during a news conference at the COP26 U.N.
Asked if a Democratic loss could signal real losses for the party in the midterms, Biden said,"We're going to win." If voters turn out in big numbers, the president predicted, Democrats will win the governorships in both Virginia and New Jersey. Despite his own worries, the president said he is"optimistic" that the world is hitting a tipping point in the view of climate change, citing a very different outlook than even existed at the previous COP25 climate summit as people across the country see the impacts of climate change play out in their own backyards, he said.
