White House Chief of Staff <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/ron-klain-says-that-one-good-metric-means-bidens-horrible-numbers-arent-horrible/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ron Klain</a> claimed during a recent television appearance that the midterm elections had been not just good, but record-breaking for President Joe Biden — but former White House reporter Jim Stinson begged to differ.
Klain, speaking with MSNBC&#8217;s <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/msnbcs-odonnell-gives-brutally-honest-apology-his-james-barrett/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lawrence O&#8217;Donnell</a>, falsely claimed that Biden was the first president since John F. Kennedy to <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/breaking-republicans-fail-to-take-back-the-senate-from-democrats-projection/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hold Senate seats</a> and &#8220;potentially go up one senate seat&#8221; in a midterm election.

White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain claims that &quot;no president since JFK has held senate seats and potentially go up one senate seat&quot; in a midterm.
In 2018, Republicans increased their senate majority by 2 seats under President Trump. <a href="https://t.co/rjadi7OcBt">pic.twitter.com/rjadi7OcBt</a>

While Stinson agreed that Kennedy&#8217;s midterms were an unqualified success, he noted that several other presidents had seen good midterm results since — and better results than Biden could see even if Democrats are successful in the upcoming Georgia run-off between incumbent Senator Raphael Warnock (D-GA) and challenger Herschel Walker.
&#8220;THREAD. Ron Klain @WHCOS tells some remarkable lies. On @Lawrence (a gullible guy) Monday night, Klain said &#8220;no president &#8230; since John F. Kennedy &#8230; (has held on to) Senate seats and potentially even (went) up one Senate seat.&#8221; This is untrue; @JonKarl also said this,&#8221; he began.

&#8220;The best MIDTERM performance on the Senate side by a party holding the White House since 1960 was: 1) 1962. Kennedy. Dems pick up 4 seats despite midterm. 2) 2002. Bush. Despite recession, GOP picks up 2 seats and control of Senate. So .. 2022 yet, @MSNBC? No,&#8221; he continued.
Stinson went on to note that the <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/nate-silvers-fivethirtyeight-bad-2018-could-joseph-curl/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2018 midterms</a> under former President Donald Trump effectively tied with the 2002 George W. Bush pickups for the second best with two net gains, and that Democrats — even with a win in Georgia — could only potentially gain one.

&#8220;So two Republicans presidents since JFK (Bush 2 and Trump) have had better midterms than @JoeBiden could possibly have in the Senate elections. At best, Dems could pick up 1,&#8221; he said.
Stinson went on to detail several other midterms since Kennedy, noting that even former President <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/watch-chris-matthews-says-nixon-had-shame-suggests-ashe-schow/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Richard Nixon</a> had seen a net gain of one in the senate in 1970.
https://twitter.com/jimstinson/status/1592508778406375424
If the Democrats lose in Georgia, Stinson added, the Biden administration could tie with the results handed to former President Bill Clinton in 1998. &#8220;In &#8217;98, the Republicans held the majority. A troubled Bill Clinton (D) held the White House. Neither party won any new seats. Net gain: zero. It was seen as defeat for GOP,&#8221; he said.
&#8220;There is just no way for Joe Biden, Ron Klain (who @Lawrence said was the most successful @WHCOS since JFK — lol) and the Dems to spin the Senate wins. They picked up one at best. Bush 2 and Trump did better,&#8221; he concluded.
