As the midterms approach, Biden embarks on a travel blitz to lay the groundwork for Democrats this November and himself in 2024.
President Joe Biden overcame Covid, the presidential August curse and the legislative blockade built by members of his own party.
Among Biden’s aides, the belief has begun to form that the worst may indeed be behind them. Even the president’s bout with Covid was seen, internally, as having a positive side effect: providing planners with far more leeway to get him on the road — the fear of infection having now been put off, at least, the next few months.
But potential hurdles remain: some Democrats, aides confirm, are still opting to steer clear of Biden on the campaign trail, and worries persist about inflation and a possible autumn surge of gas prices or Covid. Others have signaled that they would not want to appear with Biden. Those include Sen.of Ohio, who released an ad declaring “She doesn’t work for Joe Biden, she works for you.”
Biden’s winning streak has, indeed, culminated with the resurrection of a $740 billion reconciliation bill that fulfilled longtime Democratic priorities like climate change, drug pricing and taxes on corporations. And to top it off, it’s come just as his predecessor plunged once more into legal peril, with the damaging headlines emanating from the FBI raid of Mar-a-Lago threatening to drag down Republicans’ chances this fall.
“The president will continue driving the message that he and congressional Democrats are fighting to deliver for middle-class families and Main Street, while MAGA congressional Republicans are siding with extremism and rich special interests,” said White House spokesman Andrew Bates. Inside the White House, officials say there has been an obvious joy in the president that has been largely absent for months, amid negative headlines over inflation, gas prices, baby formula shortages, and criticism to his response to the Supreme Court’s overturning of federal abortion rights. With his newly boosted immunity from overcoming COVID and a rebound case, Biden gleefully took selfies with supporters for more than 10 minutes following his remarks last week in Maryland.
