Biden OUTMANEUVERS Trump in Powerful FINAL INTERVIEW
Look, if it continues to benefit the American, I've invested more in red states than in blue states. All of these programs we just talked about. The reason for that was the red states didn't operate very well and they really hurt their constituents. So those factories closed and the like. The fact is that I represent all of America, not just Democrats.

And I think what it's going to do is going to bring the country more together than separate it. And for example, you already have folks like Marjorie Taylor Greene and others saying, don't eliminate the factory. After talking about the proposal that we're going to build that, it was the worst idea anybody's ever had. She didn't vote for it.

So I think there's going to be a bit of a comeuppance here. But the bottom line is, I'm convinced that over time, the American public will respond to what is the intention of the party to try to help ordinary people. And the fundamental change I made, and I made a speech at Brookings Institution about it recently, was on the economy.

The fact is that we had a long time this idea of trickle-down economics. Let the wealthy do very, very well. They'll have so much money, it'll trickle down on people's kitchen tables and coffee tables and like, and everyone will benefit. I've never bought that theory. And so what I've decided to do was to change it to build the comedy from the middle out and the bottom up.

Wealthy still do very well. But the middle class and working class people do much, much better. And that's exactly what's happening. And so I think the long term prospects for the country are very good.

I kept my word that when I said I was going to do something, I did. And that my focus has always been about how to give ordinary people a shot. You've probably heard me say it before. My dad used to say, Joey, a job is about a lot more than a paycheck. It's about your dignity. It's about respect. It's about being able to look your kid in the eye and say, I'm just going to be okay and mean it.

It's about being able to be yourself and focus on people who need some help. And the vast majority of American people, all they want is a chance, just a chance, and they'll do fine. You see hope? I do. I am hopeful.

We've got to stay involved. We've got to keep fighting. We've got to make clear we're not going away. We're not going away. I'm not going away. I'm going to be deeply involved in the environment. I'm going to be deeply involved in foreign policy, deeply involved in all the things I've been involved in before.
