Description
Is President Joe Biden meeting the moment?
That’s the question driving the political zeitgeist as some of the
loudest members of the Democratic Party vent their frustrations to major
news outlets.
The gist of their complaints: Biden (and Democrats) need a vibe shift —
fast. They want the president to reflect their anger and angst. They
want him to project strength and that he has a plan for meaningful
action. They want him to pick fights at the right time with the right
opponents, messaging on themes that get reinforced time and again.
And they feel all of this is missing from the White House right now.
