Fox News
House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., said on "Fox News Sunday" that President Biden’s plummeting approval ratings have little to do with his performance and more to do with the country being "in a bad place" largely due to the coronavirus pandemic.
"I don't know that anything is going wrong," Clyburn explained. "The country's in a bad place. We have a pandemic. I happen to chair the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus [Crisis], and I can tell you you'd be surprised at how much went wrong with trying to combat this virus. And that put everybody in a pretty bad way.
"Education is being called into question because kids were out of school and couldn’t go to school, people were out of work," he continued. "And now we're trying to bring the economy back, and you've got all of these other things happening. So the country's in a bad place. It was a real tough time to become president of the United States. It's just that simple."
