McCarthy told Fox News’ America’s Newsroom on Friday that he would “welcome” Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) coming out on the 2022 campaign trail. The president’s approval rating has been in negative territory since August 30—the day before the final withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan—and recent polling suggests his numbers are not headed for an upswing.
