Description
For weeks, Joe Biden's presidency has been dragged down by a stalled
agenda, spiraling inflation, lousy poll numbers and an angry base
accusing him of not delivering on his promises.
Wednesday delivered a much-needed jolt with the news that Supreme Court
Justice Stephen Breyer will retire at the end of this term. It’s a
chance for the White House to pivot from the spate of bad news and rally
depressed Democratic voters. Perhaps more importantly, it presents a
chance for Biden to prove to Black voters — who rescued his 2020
campaign — that he can deliver for them.
