esident Joe Biden let his anger over Democrats’ projected midterm losses boil over and lost his temper on a high ranking staffer, sources familiar with the matter told Bloomberg.
Reports of the outburst come as Democrats take turns pointing fingers over the expected red wave in Tuesday’s elections. Biden is known for letting his anger flare in front of aides, and he reportedly lost his temper at Brian Deese, director of Biden’s National Economic Council. Bloomberg reported, citing three anonymous sources, though a White House spokesperson told the Daily Caller News Foundation that Chief of Staff Ron Klain disputed the report.
Biden was also reportedly angry that aides had told him inflation was “transitory” as prices have remained sky-high over the past several months.
The economy is performing poorly under Deese’s leadership, while numerous polls have also found that the economy is the most important issue for voters and that Americans trustRepublicans more than Democrats to handle the economy.
Biden has publicly aired his anger on several other recent occasions: he called Fox News reporter Peter Doocy a “stupid son of a bitch” in January, and he snapped at a group of protesters and called them “idiots” at a Saturday campaign event in Illinois.
