The White House on Jan. 20 defended President Joe Biden after he claimed the upcoming midterm elections “easily could be illegitimate.”

“Lets be clear: POTUS was not casting doubt on the legitimacy of the 2022 election. He was making the opposite point: In 2020, a record number of voters turned out in the face of a pandemic, and election officials made sure they could vote and have those votes counted,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said in a statement.
