White House seeks to contrast President Biden’s U.N. appearance with House Republicans’ struggles to pass basic bills.
Thursday on X, formerly known as Twitter. “Poll after poll shows Americans see right through these lies.”While Biden rarely has addressed the impeachment inquiry or the government shutdown threat in public, he has been sharpening his rhetoric in recent weeks as he seeks to frame next year’s election as a choice rather than a referendum on his presidency.
“Don’t compare me to the Almighty,” Biden often says as he makes his case for a second term. “Compare me to the alternative.”Democrats are hoping that sentiment will ultimately be effective, though some retain concerns it may not be enough to motivate certain groups of voters. For their part, Republicans in Congress and on the campaign trail have sought to brand Biden as corrupt and out of his depth. As the attacks on both sides gather steam, it’s not clear how long Biden will be able to operate parallel to the politics of the House GOP caucus.If the government shuts down, for example, the president’s allies are aware that voters may eventually turn to the White House to provide a solution, which would probably mean engaging with McCarthy and his lieutenants.
“There is a political risk to not being visible all the time, every single day,” Payne said. “But I think that sticks true to Biden’s brand, and his general political offering to the public of being a president who is around when he needs to be but not so ubiquitous that you can’t get away from him.”Biden has also learned that betting on ongoing dysfunction among House Republicans does not always succeed as a political strategy.
