Democrats Search for Their Identity

Washington Post: “It remains unclear how the public will interpret the infusion of infrastructure spending into their communities, how the second social spending bill will play out — and whether those measures come to define Democrats in the eyes of voters…”

“Liberals say conservatives are holding up the kinds of sweeping change the country needs. Moderates say the party has misread the electorate and risks losing the majority a year from now. And some have come to view members of their own party as a bigger enemy than Republicans.”

Politico: “Nearly every Democrat agrees on two other things: First, if Democrats can pass policies like universal pre-K and expanded family leave, the party’s candidates will have something popular to run on; and second, Biden needs to do a better job selling whatever policies he manages to get passed.”
