ABC’s Jon Karl Stops Gavin Newsom After He Claims Biden Has ‘The Best 3-Year Record’ of Any Modern President: Why’s His Approval ‘Historically Low?’

ABC’s Jon Karl stopped Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) after he made a claim about President Joe Biden that, according to a recent poll, at least two-thirds of the electorate would surely take umbrage with.

In an interview on ABC’s This Week Sunday, the California governor argued that — contrary to public opinion — the Biden presidency has been a rousing succcess.

“We need to lift up the issues, the successes, the extraordinary successes of the last three years, the Biden-Harris administration,” Newsom said. “And then we drive contrast. It’s not even a complicated campaign. We have the receipts. We have the best three year record of any modern American presidency. Period. Full stop.”

But in response, the ABC correspondent invoked the president’s approval ratings. A recent ABC News poll pegged the number at 33 percent — the lowest it’s been for any president dating back former President George W. Bush.

“Biden’s approval is historically low,” Karl said. “Why is that?!”

Newsom’s response — more or less — was: nothing to see here, everythings.

“Everybody’s approval, across the spectrum, you find exceptions to that,” Look, it’s been hard globally the last 6 or 7 years. But again, America stands tall or the tentpole. The world economy. No peers economically. Again, a master of delivery. The economy is booming, inflation is cooling. And of course, the economic strategies this president put together were all things Republicans dreamt of but never delivered. He’s delivered.
