Biden gets punchy as midterms go down to the wire

When a reporter asked Joe Biden last week if there should be any restrictions on abortion, the president got saucy.

“In Roe v. Wade. Read it man. You’ll get educated,” Biden said before hastily walking off to board Marine One on the White House South Lawn.

It was a moment that reflected Biden’s punchiness with the midterms quickly approaching and with the prospects of Democrats losing at least one chamber of Congress. Increasingly, Biden has shown off his more unscripted and candid side, something he has held back throughout his presidency.
