This tracks perfectly with his generation. They're always around to claim credit in the event of Success, but when there's Failure it's always "Who is responsible?"

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

MODERATORS
I mean, he's not wrong. Policies he pushed - which are immensely popular, despite right-wing whinging about them - earned support from Democratic candidates and activists, and that support in turn earned them wins on Tuesday.
Turns out, people like functional government.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
President Joe Biden is celebrating his party’s election wins this week and claiming credit for some of the victories, including the Kentucky governor’s re-election.
In his first public remarks about Tuesday’s elections, Biden said at a campaign event Thursday night that his administration’s policies were resonating with voters.
Andy Beshear, saying, "In Kentucky, a Democratic governor was re-elected after … running on programs that were all Biden initiatives."
He also pointed to Democratic wins in Ohio, where voters passed a ballot initiative that enshrines abortion rights in the state’s constitution.
And in doing so, Biden took aim at his potential opponent next November by saying, "The only reason abortion is banned in America is because of Donald Trump.”
Although Biden credited his administration for this week's Democratic victories, some of the biggest wins most likely have roots independent of the president.
