'They got what they ordered, right?': Democrats search for a midterm message at party gatherings
CNN
At gatherings in Washington and Philadelphia this week, President Joe Biden sought to rally Democrats around a midterm message that the party has delivered on its domestic promises. What Democrats need to do, he and other party brass argued, is make sure Americans know what they've accomplished.
But he also admitted at the House Democratic retreat in Philadelphia on Friday that making that case to voters is no easy task.
"The American people just trying to stay above water don't understand this," Biden said. "You tell them about the American Rescue Plan, and they say, 'What the hell are you talking about?'"
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.
