President Biden insisted that he wouldn't change anything after Democrats had a better night than expected in Tuesday's midterm races
Asked what he would alter, given 75% say they are unhappy with the country's direction, he said: 'Nothing, because they're just finding out what we're doing' Critics accused the president of arrogance, noting that he was crowing as if he had secured a huge victory, when in fact Congress was too close to call
Yet the president was in a jovial mood after his party kept a red wave from crashing over the country in House, Senate and gubernatorial races He mocked the media for its predictions going into election night - which had him and his Democrats doing badly
Joe Biden has been accused of acting 'arrogantly' after he insisted that he would not change course, despite coming perilously close to losing control of the House and Senate.
With both races too tight to call, the president insisted on Wednesday that he won't change anything - even though a majority of voters said the country was on the wrong track.
Yet many felt the tone was inappropriate.
'Joe Biden delivering an arrogant and delusional press conference from the White House,' said Nile Gardiner, a foreign policy analyst.
'No humility from a president whose party is on course to lose control of the House of Representatives and possibly the Senate too. This man is completely tone deaf.'
Andy Biggs, a Republican congressman representing Arizona, tweeted: 'Totally disconnected. Arrogance at its finest.'
Author and attorney David Limbaugh said that Biden's 'arrogance' and unwarranted victory lap could help the Republican cause.
'Further rationalizing, the Dems' relatively good, not strong, showing might lead Biden to be even more arrogant and defiant, and maybe that causes him to be even more unpopular,' Limbaugh said.
