California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom claimed that President Joe Biden has the best three-year record of any modern American presidency, emphasizing the administration’s successes and public support.
However, ABC News host Jonathan Karl challenged this assertion, pointing out Biden’s historically low approval ratings.
When asked about the border crisis and illegal immigration, Newsom avoided specifics and blamed Republicans for obstructing progress on immigration reform.

Newsom said, “It’s not even a complicated campaign. We have the receipts.”
“We have the best three-year record of any modern American presidency, period, full stop. And you look at the issue, issue by issue, they poll overwhelmingly, the American people support what Biden has done,” he continued.
Karl replied, “Except for the big thing, approval.”
“Biden’s approval is historically low. Why is that?” he asked.
He referenced the president’s comprehensive strategy and pathway to citizenship while accusing Republicans of disrupting progress.
“The economic strategy, as this president’s put together, were all things Republicans dreamt of, but never delivered,” answered Newsom.
“He’s delivered,” claimed the California governor.
“Well, I think you have to deal with the cards that are dealt. You’ve got to deal with the reality on the ground. And you have to have a comprehensive conversation around this, across the spectrum, the push and the pull,” continued Newsom.
“And that’s around the fundamental issue, immigration reform. It’s not just border security. The president put out a comprehensive strategy, a pathway to citizenship along with lines of their former hero, Ronald Reagan, to address the reality on the ground,” he explained.
“That’s what the president of the United States has put up in front of Congress. And they refuse to act. They’re just promoting an agenda to disrupt and find a crowbar to put in the spokes of the wheels of the Biden administration to disrupt any progress on this because they don’t want progress, period,” he concluded.
