President Joe Biden addressed reporters Sunday evening with a meandering response covering his administration, the border crisis, and President-elect Donald Trump.
When asked if white supremacy remains the biggest threat to the U.S., Biden replied, “One of many threats… any form of supremacy is a threat. We’re a multicultural nation, and that diversity is our strength.” He referenced historical waves of immigration, highlighting the U.S. as globally connected and resilient.
Shifting to the border crisis, Biden claimed credit for a secure border he inherited, noting efforts for bipartisan reforms. He criticized Trump’s opposition to these measures but did not elaborate on legislation allowing up to 5,000 daily migrant entries.
In a heated moment, Biden emphasized his global experience, stating, “As the oldest president, I know more world leaders than you ever will. Not a joke.”
