The policies Biden is touting will have a direct impact on American lives — but they also fall far short of the goals that Biden set for himself when taking office.
The White House says the public focus on the war in Ukraine is “understandable” and it's realistic about the challenges facing Biden in breaking through.
“I think it makes good strategic sense that, if you’re going to be stymied by Congress, you take matters into your own hands,” said Eric Schultz, a communications official in the Obama White House. Schultz said Democrats need to demonstrate they’re making progress even if they’re not passing the sweeping legislation they promised.
That’s left Biden touting the benefits of infrastructure legislation that passed last year — old bridges slated for replacement are a staple of his domestic travels — and looking for other, small policies that can be advanced.
