A sense of vindication swept through the White House and Biden campaign on Wednesday after Democrats’ strong showing in off-year elections, despite a slew of recent polls showing U.S. President Joe Biden’s popularity is low.

“Pollsters, pundits, if I had $1, for every time they’ve counted Joe Biden or the Democrats out, I probably wouldn’t have to work anymore,” Sam Cornale, executive director of the Democratic National Committee, told Reuters. Democrats “won time and again, and we will next November,” he predicted.
