The article critiques President Joe Biden's leadership and decision-making, suggesting his prideful obstinacy led Democrats to lose the White House. Former Obama adviser David Plouffe emphasizes this point in a new book, asserting that Biden's failures are scapegoated by the party. Key issues highlighted include the controversial Inflation Reduction Act and public concern over illegal immigration, with 78% of Americans deeming it a crisis. Ultimately, the piece argues that blaming Biden alone for the party's challenges is both hypocritical and self-delusional.
"We got so screwed by Biden, as a party," former Obama adviser David Plouffe is quoted saying in a New Yorker excerpt from Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson's new book "Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again." The supposition of the piece - headlined "How Joe Biden Handed the Presidency to Donald Trump" - is that Democrats only failed to hold the White House because of Biden's prideful obstinacy.
There is a reason the Democratic Party's polling is at historic lows right now, and it's not just Biden's memory problems. Let's recall that every congressional Democrat decided to shoehorn the "Inflation Reduction Act" into law even after most economists warned it would plunge the nation into price spikes.
If anything, Biden had merely adopted the social science quackery on gender that so many Democrats champion. Did any elected Democrat speak out about the anarchy of illegal immigration? If so, I must have missed it.
According to a pre-election Pew poll, 78% of Americans believed the border was a crisis or major problem. One of the big criticisms of Biden is that he failed to make room for another candidate earlier.
