The White House has long seen the coronavirus pandemic as the key issue of Biden’s presidency, and Biden’s return effort is focused on convincing the public that the president is providing solid leadership on the issue.
During the first months of Biden’s presidency, his team was confident that voters had confidence in the president’s leadership on the issue, but falling polls and the gruesome pandemic have raised questions about whether public confidence is faltering. · Lant.
Biden gave an intense speech on Thursday blaming the spread of the COVID-19 virus to the unvaccinated while announcing measures requiring federal workers to be vaccinated.
Observations about the pandemic were a pivot for Biden, who had previously avoided taking warrants and adopted a much more contentious tone toward unvaccinated Americans.
“We’ve been patient,” Biden said. “But our patience is running out and your refusal has cost us all.”
Democrats acknowledge that the coming months are critical for Biden, who along with Democrats is already waiting for 2022, when the majority of the House and Senate now in the party will be made available in the midterm elections.
Biden is also facing a crucial moment in his national agenda as Democrats try to establish an agreement on a $ 3.5 trillion spending package that would reform much of the social safety net. Biden’s legacy is likely to be within the reach of the success of the legislation.
Last week, an NPR-PBS Newshour-Marist poll showed Biden with 43% approval. Most importantly, the poll showed it fell to 36% of independent support, a 10-point drop from July. A Washington Post-ABC News poll later showed Biden with 36% approval among independents, and 57% said they disapproved of Biden.
“I think this is the first point in the presidency where President Biden’s figures are submarine and there are more doubts than anywhere else,” said Democratic strategist Joel Payne. “It is important not to allow these moments to be installed.”
“There is certainly a desire to turn the page and reset the narrative quickly,” he added.
Biden’s White House is betting that most Americans will agree with him that the unvaccinated are holding back the nation when it comes to pandemic recovery.
He also hopes to tie GOP opponents to those who refuse to get vaccinated.
Bets are high for Biden.
Republicans in August saw an administration fall and its chances of winning the Democratic Republic of Congo’s majorities at an all-time high.
Some Democrats also blame Biden for losing control of the political debate when the administration was attacked by Afghanistan. Biden has also been criticized by some sectors for delivering Thursday’s speech too late.
“Whether trapped by the withdrawal from Afghanistan or surprised by the spread of the delta variant, Biden’s voice was heard second, after detractors and potential opponents of 2024, including the former president,” Basil said. Smikle, the former executive director of the New York State Democracy Party. Smikle referred to the former president Donald Trump

Smikle said Biden’s “most aggressive tone” about vaccinations on Thursday showed dominance by the federal bureaucracy and a willingness to use the bully pulpit to control the virus.
“It is crucial for him to show strength and authority in this conjuncture with K-12 and college students returning nervous to face-to-face learning, SCOTUS decision on eviction moratoriums and sports courts going at full capacity,” he said Smikle. “It simply came to our notice then. This is not good for the global commitment to the pandemic, but it has political ramifications in the intervening periods. “
Recently, the Supreme Court has ruled against Biden’s actions to uphold the eviction ban.
The next few weeks will be the ultimate test for Biden, historians say, and whether he can drive from a position of strength.
“It’s an important moment,” said Julian Zelizer, a professor of history and public affairs at Princeton University.
Zelizer pointed out the former president Jimmy Carter

What Joe Biden Should Have Learned from Jimmy Carter Joe Biden Everyone has an opinion on Afghanistan: do voters care? MONTH, which faced a series of crises that began in 1979 with the oil crisis, a slow economy, the Soviet Union’s invasion of Afghanistan, and the Iran hostage crisis. Carter’s perceived handling gave his opponent Ronald Reagan easy points of contention against him and sparked an explosion in the 1980 presidential race.
He said for Carter that the perception came true.
“Carter worked hard on all of this, he was often more effective behind the scenes than people didn’t understand, such as advancing negotiations to free the hostages in Iran,” Zelizer said.
“But the perception that he had lost control, that he was struggling to find answers, that he had no plans, all of this played into Reagan’s attacks that he was incompetent and a failed leader,” Zelizer added.
“Americans don’t like presidents looking overwhelmed by the crises they face, even if part of what’s going on is out of their control,” he added.
