Biden’s secret weapon for November: using federal agencies to ‘get out the vote’ FOR HIM
NY Post
Joe Biden has an ace up his sleeve.
Without a doubt, the president is the weakest incumbent in modern history. No matter: He’s using the strength of the federal government to register and mobilize voters who are likely to support his re-election.
It’s an unprecedented effort, unwittingly funded by taxpayers, and it may even overcome the factors that could otherwise doom Biden’s electoral prospects, from his extreme age to his disastrous policies.
Biden began building this whole-of-government campaign almost immediately after taking office.
In March 2021, he issued an executive order, entitled “Promoting Access to Voting,” that directed every federal agency to “expand citizens’ opportunities to register to vote” and “participate” in “the electoral process.”
Yet such actions are inherently political and have long been understood to be inappropriate if not illegal.
