Biden claims progressives don't like him because he doesn't embrace 'a socialist agenda'

President Biden opened up about his conflict with the more progressive side of the Democratic Party, arguing in a recent interview that he encounters criticism for not embracing a socialist agenda.

Columnist David Brooks wrote that Biden was suspicious of generous college debt forgiveness and that people "who take the big risks to generate wealth should reap the big rewards." Those comments come as Biden faces pressure from within his party to adopt sweeping environmental and economic policies like the Green New Deal.
