Biden's approval is at 56% to 63%

depending on which poll you look at.
Trump started at 47% and was never over 50%

Yet Trump was never asked about the people who did not vote for him, even though they were in the majority. In fact he often dismissed people just because they did not vote for him and got no push back in the press for this.

But they say President Biden's main task is to reach out to Trump supporters.

That is the "liberal press" for you.

His inauguration speech is all one needs to determine that. He wasn't asked about it all the time because there was no point.

Trump was the first pResident in modern history who never hit 50% approval rating and his average approval rating turned out to be the lowest of anyone in modern history as well.

... we're told we have to be concerned about the Trump voters... the "half the country" that voted for Trump. Of course, it wasn't half the country. And, we were NOT to be concerned with the majority of the country that voted for Hillary!
