Congressman Clyburn weighed-in this week on the escalating questions surrounding Election Integrity heading into the 2022 midterms; saying he doesn’t know a single person “against identifying themselves” when they cast a ballot.
“When I first registered to vote as a 21-year-old, I got a voter registration card. I always present that when I go to vote. That is voter ID. We are always for Voter ID, we are never for disproportionate Voter ID,” said Clyburn.
“I don’t know a single person who is against identifying themselves when they go to vote. But we don’t want you to tell me my ID is no good,” he added.

WATCH: Rep. Jim Clyburn Concedes Biden’s Jobs Report is ‘Disappointing’
Rep. Jim Clyburn publicly admitted over the weekend that April’s jobs report is “disappointing” despite President Biden touting the figures as proof America is “on the right track.”
“If you look at that jobs report, yes, it was disappointing. But it was more disappointing among women. They’re basically the care givers, they’re populated in the world of work that is slowly coming back. They’re teachers and all of that!” said Clyburn.
President Joe Biden’s economic agenda was thrust into question Friday when an important jobs report widely missed the mark; showing just 266,000 new positions in America when experts predicted nearly one million.
“The unemployment rate unexpectedly rose to 6.1% — while it’s still well below the April 2020 peak of 14.7%, it’s about twice the pre-crisis level, the Labor Department said in its monthly payroll report, released Friday morning. Economists surveyed by Refinitiv expected the report to show that unemployment fell to 5.8% and the economy added 978,000 jobs,” reports Fox News.

The April jobs report was the worst miss in 23 years: "The worst miss, we're told, since '98."

“The figure marks a significant drop from March’s downwardly revised number of 770,000 and February’s upwardly revised 536,000,” adds Fox. “There are still 8.2 million fewer jobs than there were last February, before the crisis began.”
