Biden's Ukraine leadership may not help Democrats at the ballot box
CNN
President Joe Biden has maintained impressive unity among Western allies in leading the strong coordinated response to Russian President Vladimir Putin's aggression in Ukraine.
At home, Biden has gratified Democratic campaign strategists lately with tactical adjustments. He smacked away the far left's counterproductive "defund the police" slogan in his State of the Union address. He has more aggressively promoted accomplishments like the bipartisan infrastructure bill. Last week, he slapped a "Putin's price hike" label on the rising cost of gasoline.
And what will it get him politically in midterm elections for Congress this fall? Probably not much.
President Joe Biden on Sunday delivers his first commencement address of the 2024 season at Morehouse College, where the president may for the first time in months have to confront the angst that’s been percolating on college campuses nationwide toward his administration’s policies on the Israel-Hamas war.
Arab and Palestinian Americans left a meeting with Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Friday night frustrated they did not have a clear understanding of how the Biden administration might act upon their concerns as the Israel-Hamas war devastates the civilian population in Gaza, participants told CNN.
