PHILADELPHIA — President Joe Biden told House Democrats on Friday that the party needs to better communicate its accomplishments to the American people, warning that Republican majorities in the next Congress would leave him with nothing but a veto pen.
"We have to continue to maintain our majority," the president said, calling the midterms perhaps the most important off-year election in modern history. "We know the fundamental change that shifts if we lose the House and Senate. The only thing I'll have then is a veto pen."
Biden and Democrats have been struggling to find a message that will resonate with voters, and face long odds in retaining their slim majorities in Congress after November's elections.
