Biden; From declining popularity to the nightmare of congressional elections
The Biden administration’s failure to pass a mandatory vaccination order last week and Democrats criticizing plans to amend the Senate bylaws was a fatal blow to the White House on the eve of its one-year anniversary (January 20, 2021). It was the government.
Even for the White House, which often faces setbacks and challenges, Biden’s defeats on Thursday (December 23rd) on both fronts have raised questions about the fate of his presidency. The first failure was the US Supreme Court’s negative ruling on a government order requiring staff to be vaccinated or given a weekly test, and the second was the White House, which criticized Arizona Democratic Sen. Christine Cinema for not supporting a Senate amendment to the bill. This plan did not have a chance to be approved.
The situation has raised concerns about the Democratic Party’s chances of winning this year’s midterm elections (November 8, 2022), while Republicans are preparing to take control of both the Senate and House of Representatives.
Popularity that is declining and elections that are approaching
On the other hand, Biden’s popularity is also declining and has dropped to 33% according to a recent poll; Democrat Sen. Joe’s criticism of West Virginia’s Biden $ 1.750 billion bill to support the middle class and the poor, which was previously passed in the House of Representatives, could be another defeat for the government. Some experts say the time to influence voters in the run-up to the November elections is too short.
Larry Sabato, founder and founder of the Center for Political Research at the University of Virginia, noted the lengthy but fruitless negotiations with the secretary over changes to the bill. A whole year passed and the achievement was nothing. But the Democrats’ lack of support for Biden on Senate election bills is even worse.
Sabato on Inflation But I’m very surprised.
He continued: “In the case of Afghanistan, if they really did the right thing, it would be an achievement for the government; Because both Democrats and Republicans really wanted to get out of Afghanistan. But the performance of the government was very bad, they did not know what was happening at all.
Jenny Saki announced yesterday that Biden will hold an official press conference next Wednesday (January 29) to mark the first anniversary of his arrival at the White House, which is strange to him. In addition to answering tough questions about the government’s failures, Biden is likely to discuss his successes, including the $ 1 trillion Infrastructure Improvement Act passed in November and the $ 1.9 trillion bailout plan. Covid dollars will also speak.
Some analysts say too much reliance on past successes indicates a lack of confidence in what might be achieved in the next 10 months until the midterm elections.
Obstacles to Biden are a range of different problems; Democratic divisions and divisions within the Democratic Party, challenges created by Republicans and the majority of the US Supreme Court, which was appointed by former US President Donald Trump and which has so far shown a good thumbs up to the Biden administration.
