NUSA DUA, Indonesia (AP) — For President Joe Biden, an international trip scheduled for just days after the midterm election looked like it would offer an escape hatch, allowing him to jet far away as he faced what many thought would be a crushing verdict from voters.
Instead his journey, which included stops in Egypt, Cambodia and Indonesia, turned into an around-the-world victory lap. Biden spent the trip making congratulatory calls to Democrats who fared better than expected in the midterms, emboldening him during three global summits where he pushed for stronger action on climate change, closer economic ties in Asia and greater condemnation of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
After facing doubts at home and abroad over his insistence that the United States is turning the page on his chaotic predecessor, Donald Trump, Biden’s contention that “America is back” appeared more durable than ever.
The carefully choreographed trip was interrupted by a missile that landed in Poland as the G-20 summit was underway. Two people died, raising fears that the war in neighboring Ukraine could spread beyond its borders, and speculation quickly spread that Russia was responsible.
Daniel Fried, a former U.S. ambassador to Poland, said Biden made the right moves in a dangerous situation by expressing solidarity with Poland but not rushing to conclusions.
The administration, he said, “played it right.”
For the White House, it was another opportunity for Biden to demonstrate a steady hand on the international stage during his trip.

[[How does losing the house “strengthen” Biden?!]]
The same way he calls a 10 cent drop in gas prices a ‘Recovering and Stronger Economy’ - the gas prices suck 10 cents less- so yeah, in their wackadoodle minds, that amounts to great news, and ‘renewed strength’- even though we’re still almost $3.00 a gallon more than when Trump was in office
