President Biden defended controversial remarks in which he appeared to call for regime change in Russia. 'I was expressing the moral outrage that I feel, and I make no apologies for it,' he said.
"It was a mistake, clearly," former Democratic Montana Sen. Max Baucus, a onetime U.S. ambassador to China,over the weekend."He may think that personally — I think a lot of Americans think that personally — but he is the president of the United States, so he cannot say that publicly.
"Politically, I actually think the president is where most of the American people are," said Joel Payne, a Democratic strategist and veteran of the Hillary Clinton 2016 presidential campaign."And I think in a moment where the president is struggling to kind of stay above water or get above water with his popularity, I think the president may be saying something off the cuff that's going to register well with most of the country.
He called Biden's Warsaw speech"historic" and believes it"will rank right up there" with other iconic Cold War moments from presidential addresses, like when John F. Kennedy in 1963 gave hisspeech in West Berlin, and Ronald Reagan's call to Mikhail Gorbachev to"tear down this wall" between West and East Germany in 1987.
He pointed out that Republicans have been able to take hold of the narrative domestically despite voting against popular items like the expanded Child Tax Credit, or standing in the way of the government being able to negotiate lower prescription drug prices.
