President Joe Biden is still President for the next 95 days or so … and he’s made it clear he’ll make the most of his time left in the Oval Office.
After the release of 3 American citizens from Russian captivity on Thursday, journalists grilled 46 about his motivations behind coordinating the act of diplomacy. As one journalist asked … was it important for Biden to pull off the deal under his administration — especially since he ended his reelection bid??
Biden seemed to laugh off the question, as he told reporters he’s still got plenty of work to do for the next few months.
He quipped … “You’re stuck with me as president for a while, kid. There’s no way out. You’ve got me for at least another 100 days or so.”
The prez’s comments come amid calls from some Republicans, who feel Biden should step down now. Their argument — if he can’t run a political campaign, he can’t run the country.
Biden clearly feels differently. He’s been present and loud over the last day or so, touting his prisoner trade deal with Russia.
Journalist Evan Gershkovich, Paul Whelan and the other prisoners were welcomed by Biden and Kamala Harris at Joint Base Andrews early Friday … it caps months of intense, international negotiations.
