Washington Post: “Biden aides and top Democrats have vowed to avoid what he sees as the Obama administration’s disastrous mistake of not touting its early wins, particularly the 2009 stimulus that was ridiculed by Republicans and, Democrats believe, never received sufficient recognition for its role in saving the economy.”
“Biden’s presidency, aides say, relies not just on squeezing legislation through a narrowly divided Congress, but getting credit for its benefits in the face of a Republican opposition preparing to portray the bill as a liberal fantasy run amok. And although the legislative battle is winding down, the political fight is only beginning.”
The backdrop: A new Politico/Morning Consult poll finds 75% of Americans support Biden’s plan while just 18% oppose it.
