President Joe Biden once again vowed to pass an “assault weapons” ban during an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper on Tuesday.
The promise comes just weeks ahead of midterm elections.
Biden made the remarks after Tapper pressed Biden on how his age impacts his ability to handle the demands of the White House.
“Look what I’ve gotten done. Name me a president in recent history that’s gotten as much done as I have in the first two years. Not a joke. You may not like what I’ve gotten done, but the vast majority of the American people do like what I got done, and so it’s a matter of can you do the job,” Biden said. “I believe I can do that job. I’ve been able to do the job. I’ve gotten more done. I’ve gotten the Inflation Reduction – I got all of these pieces of legislation passed. And I ran on that. I said this is what I was gonna do.”
“And I’m still getting it done. Dealing with, you know, making sure veterans get compensated for the, for the…,” Biden said, appearing to struggle to make his point before Tapper reminded him about the “burn pits.” “The burn pits,” Biden continued. “Making sure that we’re in a situation where we finally have action on guns. And by the way, I’m going to get an assault weapons ban. Before this is over, I’m going to get that again. Not a joke, and watch.”
