In a private meeting at the White House in January, allies of the president had just told him that his poll numbers in Michigan and Georgia had dropped over his handling of the war between Israel and Hamas.
For months, Democrats have watched the 2024 campaign unfold with rising alarm as the sitting president struggles to gain ground against his defeated predecessor. Frustrations rippling through the party have reached the top, with Biden at times second-guessing travel decisions and communications strategies that have left much of the electorate clueless about his record, interviews with nearly 20 lawmakers, present and past administration officials and Biden allies show.
Biden has long believed that he isn’t getting sufficient credit for an economy that has created 15 million new jobs. Looking to reach distracted voters who may be tuning in, he told his speechwriters before the State of the Union address to tone down some of the lofty rhetoric and plainly lay out what he’s done, a person familiar with speech preparations said.
During internal discussions, he’ll press aides about which parts of his record to highlight in different states, said a second person who is familiar with the matter.
Surrounded by protective aides who want to minimize the chances of a flub, the 81-year-old president has chafed at restraints that he sees as counter to his natural instincts as a retail politician, a third person familiar with internal discussions said.
Gang,
pb nailed it.
That "dithering and diminished" "feckless dementia-ridden piece of crap" blew it with his State of the Union speech. He threw raw meat to the radicals in his base. po. isle, etc.. He's still struggling to sure up his base and he ain't enuff of a leader to articulate a message capable of bringing Muslims in Michigan and Jews in Philadelphia together.
While that's going on, Trump's reaching moderate and independent voters by virtue of the lawfare in DC, NY, GA and Miami,... turning a totally despicable man into a sympathetic figure.
