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.
“The Biden-Harris agenda has taken hold,” he said at a campaign fundraiser in Chicago. “People are winning elections on it over and over and over.”
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?"
14I 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.

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.
