Opinion by Jennifer Rubin: Biden is setting the narrative for the next two years.
to protect Americans’ privacy, prevent practices harmful to children, go after anti-competitive practices and demand greater transparency. These are all thingsHas the White House become savvier, taking the advice of Democratic centrists to focus on these issues? Or did his position change once he lost the opportunity to pursue a progressive agenda? A little of both, perhaps.
What has really changed is a shift from legislating — and the agonizing sausage-making required in a party that includes fervent progressives and pro-fossil fuel conservatives such as Sen. Joe Manchin III — to implementing and messaging. Biden was obliged in the first half of his term to pursue voting rights reform and an expansive Build Back Better agenda even if they failed. Now, no one expects him to offer up items on the progressive wish list.
Moreover, Biden has always benefited from context and contrast. In the 2020 Democratic primaries, his centrism gave him broad-based appeal and convinced voters he was more electable than the raft of more progressive contenders. In the 2020 general election, his sanity, decency and even “boringness” were the antithesis of the radical, mean and unhinged incumbent president.
