Biden's remarks also targeted what he called "ultra-MAGA" Republicans. His sharpened attacks against the GOP are part of the administration's effort to draw a contrast with how Republicans are planning to handle inflation and rising costs, issues that are top-of-mind for voters ahead of the midterm elections this year.
