Why Biden’s tack to center should come as no shock
In his first two years as president, Joe Biden surprised and delighted the progressive wing of the Democratic Party.
Early on, he enacted the American Rescue Plan, a nearly $2 trillion economic stimulus law aimed at pandemic relief. He signed a $1.2 trillion infrastructure package and the first gun control legislation in decades. He is attempting a massive student debt relief initiative, now before the Supreme Court. And last August, he signed landmark climate change and health care legislation.
“Biden has gone left wing,” conservatives essentially screamed from the sidelines.
Against this passed by Washington, D.C., countering the city’s statehood movement. And he is reportedly considering reinstating a Trump-era practice of detaining migrant families that cross the southern border illegally.
