TRANSCRIPT:
DOOCY: “Mr. President, on the debt limit, you’ve said, ‘I’ve done my part.’ Do you think, if there’s a breach, nobody is going to blame you?” Biden: “Of course no one will blame me. I know you won’t. You’ll be saying, ‘Biden did a wonderful job.’ I know you.” DOOCY: “Would you be blameless in a default situation.” Biden: “On the merits, based on what I’ve offered, I would be blameless. On the politics of it, no one would be blameless. And by the way, that’s one of the — that’s one of the things that some are contemplating. I actually had — well, I gotta be careful here. I think there are some MAGA Republicans in the House who know the damage that it would do to the economy. And because I am president and president is responsible for everything, Biden would take the blame and that’s the one way to make sure Biden is not reelected. Thank you.”
