He didn’t have the votes. Democrats put pressure on Manchin and Sinema. Manchin was never going to cave and Sinema became an Independent. As a result he’s been forced to work in a bipartisan manner. When he tried to do something via executive order SCOTUS shot it down. What he did do is he passed the largest infrastructure plan since FDR which will take time to play out. He also expanded the child tax credit. Maybe that one doesn’t effect you, but it definitely helps some working people.
Biden didn't fight for it.Obama got every Democrat Senator to vote for Obamacare,including the conservative Democrats from Nebraska,Arkansas and Louisiana. Obama also never betrayed progressives and blacks like this
That will get him the moderate Dems and Dems are the lesser evil vote and around 45% of the vote similar to Gore and Hillary.The progs and blacks that he needs for the 51% aren't coming out for that.
If he would have tried for student loan forgiveness the way Elizabeth Warren told him to he would have gotten credit for that.He choose the covid way which everyone knew was the weakest route and most likely to be shot down in the courts. Of course he is the same guy responsible for preventing student loans from being discharged in bankruptcy so progressives dont think his attempt was sincere.
Paul Morigi/Getty Images for World Food Program USA news Hunter Biden plays victim, accuses his critics of trying to 'kill' him and 'destroy' his father's presidency Chris Enloe December 08, 2023 https://www.theblaze.com/news/hunter-biden-critics-kill-him-destroy-presidency Hunter Biden claimed in a new interview that congressional Republicans investigating allegations of Biden family corruption — which center on his foreign business schemes — are trying to "kill" him to "destroy" his father's presidency. Speaking with musician Moby, a friend he met through recovery, Hunter Biden asserted that his political critics are "not healthy people," that they are experiencing "anguish" over unsolved traumas in their lives, and that they're determined to mete out their pain on the Biden family. "They are trying to, in their most illegitimate way, but rational way, they’re trying to destroy a presidency," Biden told Moby on his podcast. "And so it's not about me. And [in] their most base way, what they're trying to do is they're trying to kill me, knowing that it will be a pain greater than my father could be able to handle," he continued. "I realized that, that it's not about me," Biden said. "And then the second thing that I realized is that these people are just sad, very, very sick people that have most likely just faced traumas in their lives that they've decided that they are going to turn into an evil that they decide that they're going to inflict on the rest of the world." The interview was published, ironically, one day after Biden was indicted on nine new criminal charges — including three felonies — for failing to file and pay taxes, tax evasion, and filing a false return. Prosecutors accuse the first son of breaking tax laws from 2016 to 2019 to finance a wild and chaotic life that included extravagant spending on "drugs, escorts and girlfriends, luxury hotels and rental properties, exotic cars, clothing and other items of a personal nature." Biden faces up to 17 years in prison if convicted on the charges. It is the second time in three months that special counsel David Weiss has indicted Hunter Biden. In September, Biden was indicted on three felony gun charges when he allegedly lied about being a user of illegal drugs on a federal form to purchase a firearm in 2018. With the serious charges Biden faces juxtaposed to his comments, one must ask: are Hunter and members of the Biden family victims of an unfair fishing expedition for illegitimate charges? Or are investigators following the smoke to see if there is fire?
