House GOP Chaos Makes Biden’s Strategy Easier

By Leave a Comment

“Joe Biden’s reelection strategy relies on painting Republicans as chaotic, disorganized, and unserious,” The Messenger reports.

“And the recent bedlam in the Republican-controlled House is making that job a lot easier.”

“Biden’s campaign has seized on the Republican infighting around the ouster of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy on Oct. 3  and the Republican conference’s inability to agree upon a successor. The fractious debate plays directly into Biden’s split-screen strategy, one that the president’s top aides and advisers believe will allow persuadable voters to see the Democratic leader in a position of power as the Republicans in the House and those vying for his job fight amongst themselves.”
