President Biden is facing serious criticism from members of his party who are supposed to have his back. Instead of leading, he seems to be more like a ghost haunting the halls of the White House, with party leaders questioning whether he’s even still in charge. The chatter among Democrats has turned into a roast session, leaving many to wonder if Biden is still relevant as he continues to fade from the spotlight.
Amid heated discussions about the state of the presidency, many are starting to forget that Donald Trump is not the commander-in-chief—yet. It seems strange that Biden would allow Trump to overshadow him so easily. The former president has made headlines lately, strutting around like he’s already taken the oath of office, while Biden seems content to take lengthy weekends at his beach house, perhaps perfecting his tan instead of tackling the nation’s pressing issues.
The situation has left many wondering who is steering the ship these days. While Biden’s party members privately question his leadership, his public appearances have become increasingly rare. This absence has given way to speculation, with some Democrats alluding to the road ahead as a sad ending to what many are calling a disappointing presidency. In the meantime, Trump is busy re-establishing connections and garnering commitments, such as a recent pledge for a hefty $100 billion investment from SoftBank—talk about winning the news cycle!
In stark contrast, the Biden administration has been busily racking up feats in the pardon department, but that’s hardly what voters are clamoring for. A mere vacation sounds even worse when you realize that Biden hasn’t even addressed pressing concerns like the drone situation that’s garnering headlines. The question on everyone’s lips is, “Is anyone really in charge here?”
As if to compound matters, conflicts within the Democratic Party are becoming a topic of discussion, with notable figures pointing fingers at each other. Former campaign officials have concluded that reaching out to mainstream media like The New York Times or The Washington Post serves no purpose since their readers are already loyal to the Democratic agenda. This sentiment might strike some as a refreshingly honest take, yet it also demonstrates a lack of confidence—especially when one notes that neither of those heavyweight newspapers has endorsed a Republican candidate in over six decades.
It appears the party’s internal dynamics are just as complicated as the external ones. Faces like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and others have been sidelined despite their communication skills, as party old guard like Nancy Pelosi makes the calls. This has left some party members frustrated and wondering just how the DNC will navigate its way through what feels like a chaotic mess. As the next election approaches, the question remains: can the Democrats unify, or will they continue to bicker among themselves while Biden’s presidency drifts further into the background?
