White House press secretary Jen Psaki tweeted a clarification of President Biden's answer to a question from Wednesday's press conference about whether he believes the 2022 midterm elections will be fair and their results legitimate.

Biden began his answer with "Well, it all depends on whether or not we’re able to make the case to the American people that some of this is being set up to try to alter the outcome of the election," leading to concern that he was casting doubt on the election due to fear that Democrats will lose control of Congress. 

Not so, Psaki said.

"Lets be clear: @potus was not casting doubt on the legitimacy of the 2022 election. He was making the opposite point: In 2020, a record number of voters turned out in the face of a pandemic, and election officials made sure they could vote and have those votes counted," she tweeted Thursday morning.
