Joe Biden is becoming a quasi-lame duck.
The reality is that President Joe Biden is persistently unpopular and an enormous drag on his party, Rich Lowry writes.Joe Biden’s highly touted political comeback is failing to live up to the hype.
The reality is that he is persistently unpopular and an enormous drag on his party, with little obvious upside potential before he may have to declare he’s not running again. His strategy on inflation has been hoping that it goes away, and, as they say, hope is not a strategy. If he’d been lucky, inflation would have dropped and he could have attributed the favorable trend to the Inflation Reduction Act, even though it’s not by any reasonable metric a genuine anti-inflation measure.
He did none of the above. He contended inflation was transitory until he couldn’t anymore, and prematurely declared we’d turned a corner when we hadn’t. For his part, Biden simply isn’t a dominant figure. He’s not bonding anyone to him with his Obama-like charisma. He’s not impressing anyone with his boundless Teddy Roosevelt-like energy. He’s not winning over fence-sitters with his Clinton-like triangulation. He’s not taking the edge off the opposition to him with his Reagan-like humor.
