Biden replied by declaring the psychological toll of COVID is keeping Americans from seeing how much better he’s made life for them.

“There’s a phenomenal negative psychological impact that COVID has had on the public psyche. And so you have an awful lot of people who are, notwithstanding the fact that things have gotten so much better for them economically, that they are thinking, but, how do you get up in the morning feeling happy? Happy that everything’s alright.”
