Joe Biden won the White House mainly because of who he was not. Now, after nearly 10 months in office, voters are expecting the president to stand on his own — and are increasingly dissatisfied with what they’re seeing.
Many voters thought Biden and unified Democratic control of the federal government’s elected branches would bring back normalcy. Instead, they have been struggling to
keep the government open, extend the debt ceiling in order to avoid default, and rack up
basic legislative accomplishments. They scrambled ahead of Thursday’s deadline to broker a stopgap deal to prevent a partial government shutdown, while Biden’s centerpiece infrastructure deal hung in the balance between warring Democratic factions.
Biden’s party, which was united in its opposition to his predecessor, is splitting along progressive and moderate lines now that Donald Trump is no longer in office as a unifying figure. Each is pursuing its own visions of Democratic politics, as well as its own political self-interest — the progressives mainly hold safe seats and are therefore free to pursue ideological objectives with minimal electoral risk, while the moderates fear for their re-election next year and need to demonstrate their independence from Biden and the rest of their party’s leadership.
