“It’s infuriating,” said one top Democratic strategist, venting frustrations about Biden and his team. “Our house is on fire and it seems like they’re doing nothing to put the fire out. They’re just watching it with the rest of us.”…
Democratic strategist Joel Payne said Biden needs to change course.
“There’s the administrative part of the job and the political part of the job and it seems like this president is leaning more in the administrative role at a time when his coalition is thirsty for political clarity and leadership,” Payne said. “The president and his team have to be vigilant about providing that and balance the need to do both.”
Speaking about the Biden administration’s inaction on abortion, Bekari Sellers, the political commentator and former South Carolina representative put it this way Friday on CNN: “I’m not sure what he’s doing. I can tell you what he ain’t doing.”
“We have been sounding the alarm about this for a long time,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-N.Y.) tweeted in the wake of the Supreme Court’s abortion decision. “Some may want to go after the messenger, but we simply cannot make promises, hector people to vote, and then refuse to use our full power when they do. We still have time to fix this and act. But we need to be brave.”
