Analysis: The president has rung in the new year with a campaign-style tone at a moment when he is at risk of losing influence if Democrats start to see him as a lame duck. - jonallendc
WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden told voters last year that he plans to run for re-election. Now, he's showing Democrats what a second campaign might look like.
Last week, in remarks memorializing the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, Biden promised to be the singular force fighting Trumpism."I will stand in this breach, I will defend this nation, and I will allow no one to place a dagger at the throat of democracy. ... We will make sure the will of the people is heard," he said.
Turning to more combative and partisan rhetoric — last week, he derided Donald Trump as a"defeated former president" — gives Biden multiple angles to improve his standing, Democratic strategists say. It reminds his supporters of the candidate they chose, raises the electoral stakes for Republicans and Democrats who oppose his agenda, refocuses Democrats on their common GOP adversary and serves as a buttress against the perception that he's a short-timer.
"As a result, over the course of a year, he has lost some political standing, because people have lost the thread of what are you fighting for, who are your opponents," Shakir said.because they viewed it as geared more toward Biden's politics than toward the substance of ensuring the franchise.
