Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) defended President Joe Biden after a survey found lackluster support for the president's reelection bid among Democrats, telling the hosts of The View that you can't always trust poll results.
Schumer appeared on the daytime talk show Monday for an interview that touched on everything from the Super Bowl to the"high-altitude objects" the Pentagon shot down over the weekend. At one point, one of the hosts asked Schumer about a recent Washington Post/ABC poll that found"voters are even less enthused about Biden running again than Trump."
Schumer dismissed the poll's findings and argued support for a second Biden term would improve once the public sees the effects of the president's agenda."I think first, you can't always believe polling," Schumer said."There was a poll in 1983 that said Ronald Reagan would get clobbered, and of course, he won a huge victory. But second ... the American people read what we have done, but they haven't seen it.
The survey found that only 31% of Democrats want Biden to run again, while 44% of Republicans support former President Donald Trump in his reelection bid. These results are nearly unchanged since the Washington Post/ABC's last survey in September. Schumer went on to list the parts of Biden's agenda that passed with bipartisan support, such as reducing insulin costs to $35 a month for seniors, free shingles shots, an infrastructure bill, and green energy initiatives.
Schumer was also questioned about the appearance of more aerial objects in U.S. and Canadian airspace over the weekend that were shot down by U.S. planes. He said the Senate would have more information in the coming days after it receives a classified briefing."Sen. Tester from Montana — remember, the first one was over Montana — he's going to do an investigation. I fully support the Senate bipartisan investigation into why we didn't know sooner," Schumer said.
