President Joe Biden on Wednesday reiterated calls for his own party to move hastily on his legislative agenda following a punishing election night for Democrats.
"People want us to get things done," Biden said when asked about former Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe's upset loss in the battleground. "They want us to get things done. And that's why I'm continuing to push very hard for the Democratic Party to move along and pass my infrastructure bill and my Build Back Better bill."
When asked if he bore any of the blame for the loss in Virginia, Biden demurred.
"It should have passed before Election Day," Biden said of his agenda. "But I'm not sure that I would be able to have changed the number of very conservative folks who turned out and the red districts who were Trump voters."
