Biden Is Delivering on His Bipartisan Promise (The Washington Post)

The attention is focused elsewhere, but the president has quietly brokered some significant deals with Congress.

For now, of course, Biden’s politics are still in a shambles. But the fact remains that important elements of Biden’s agenda have succeeded, notably including a Russia policy that has secured strong bipartisan and even international support despite the economic cost. A free-market approach that devastated consumer spending power and led to liquidated many businesses would have ruined the economy, ruined Trump’s political standing, and driven the GOP into the ground. The Secret Congress dynamic, of course, is one reason why it’s difficult for Biden to secure credit for delivering on this promise. Conservative firebrands found plenty of (real and fake) controversies with which to fill the air and maintain a sense of combat even as they collaborated on policy. There have also been many more obscure bills, ranging from legislation changing the regulation of ocean shipping to a major overhaul of the US Postal Service.

Who wants the endorsement of a guy with a 33% approval rating? It’s easy to see why they hid him in the basement during the 2020 election." President Biden, like the majority of his predecessors hasn’t gotten involved in primary elections, instead focusing on the general in November for Team Blue. Every leading Democrat in competitive senate and governor races from Pennsylvania to North Carolina, Ohio to Texas has said they want the president on the ground stumping for their campaign. The left-wing acceded to his desires so long as he did what they wanted and was seen as a competent alternative. There is such a clear contrast between the AR-15-loving, abortion-criminalizing GOP right now, and sanity in the Democratic Party. Why wouldn't candidates lean in on that?" "No doubt, Biden is a pull on candidates in the field right now, who — unless they're in very blue districts — are running away from Washington rather than running toward it.

Former Obama adviser David Axelrod raised a "major" red flag regarding Biden's plans for reelection in 2024, pointing to his advanced age. But I believe the president has been doing a good job so far, and, you know, should he run again, we'll take a look at it.” “The narrative needs to shift, and that can only happen with a powerful echo chamber combined with action in Congress on remaining priorities. “The presidency is a monstrously taxing job, and the stark reality is the president would be closer to 90 than 80 at the end of a second term, and that would be a major issue,” Axelrod said. The American people feel unsettled.” A one-time challenger to Biden in the 2020 election, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) has indicated he would back the president if he chooses to run again in 2024.

"Nobody knows what to believe," said one former official who worked with Mr Biden. "They don't know, is this a new policy? Mr Biden believes he is the victim of a communications problem. "There are a lot of people who entered the administration hoping for more and are thinking: 'What have we really accomplished?'" He would be 86 at the end of a potential second term. "I don't think even Jill [Biden] or Valerie [his sister] would be able to persuade him. "The writing is on the wall that he's a one-term president," said the former official.

Biden's Bike Crash Isn't About Him. It's About the Media ... (InsideSources)

President Joe Biden took a crash off his Trek bicycle this weekend when he attempted to dismount to speak to a crowd. His foot caught part of the pedal.

When it came to Joe Biden spilling onto the pavement in front of an adoring crowd, however, Cillizza’s only response was “Been there.” Joe Biden was at a complete stop when he fell over. A Harvard-Harris poll released in May found nearly two-thirds of respondents said, “Joe Biden is showing he is too old to be president. Joe Biden crumbling over onto the ground led to instant memes on gas prices and inflation on social media, not to mention his advanced age. The problem for them is when they excuse Biden’s follies. And like every tumble up the stairs of Air Force One, they always seem to take on a symbolic measure of how their presidency is doing.

Analysis: America is on edge, and that's bad news for the White ... (CNN)

If Americans are "really, really down," as President Joe Biden suggests, it's hardly surprising.

Back home, the administration's struggles are bound to be good news for Republicans who are banking on major gains in the midterms and have an easy case to make that Biden's economic plans are not working. But it's also a reflection of the backlash Biden is facing from some Democrats over easing his position on a nation he once branded a "pariah." It is debatable just how much Biden could do to improve the economy and all the troubles that are afflicting the country. A snapshot of almost any moment in US history could reveal political struggles over the destiny of the country and the scope of rights conferred by the Constitution. Even if a recession comes, there is hope that it won't be within the scale of the 2008 financial crisis or the Great Depression nearly 100 years ago, though that will be of little consolation to anyone who loses their job. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is one of the few officials to admit she got it wrong, as she did in a recent CNN interview. This is especially problematic since his comments coincided with a pro-active attempt by the White House to dampen speculation about Biden's reelection intentions amid increasing discussion about his age. Last week, the President lashed out at big energy firms over their inflated profits, in what might be a smart political strategy to rally Democrats but may not help lower gas prices. But his professed rationale for his 2020 victory -- that he was chosen by voters to fix problems -- is crumbling. Biden is right to highlight the strong job growth that has taken unemployment to such low levels that it could cushion the impact of a potential recession set off by the Federal Reserve's aggressive attempt to cool inflation. The United States is bankrolling a war against Russia in Ukraine, which -- despite Biden's success in reviving the West's Cold War front against Moscow -- is turning into a costly stalemate. The panel is showing just how close the US came to an authoritarian takeover with ex-President Donald Trump's Political divisions are also underscored by the mixed reception of televised hearings
