Democrats are hoping President Joe Biden’s prime-time address on Tuesday effectively hits the reset button ahead of the November election after months marked by legislative breakdowns
.
“He’s going to be talking about what we are doing now and what we intend to do in the future,” said Michigan Sen. Gary Peters, chair of the chamber’s Democratic campaign arm. “That’s what people want to hear and what they want to know, and an acknowledgment of what they’ve gone through. Everybody’s fed up with the pandemic … people want to move on. There are some positive signs we’re moving on, but we have to get through it all.
The party’s most vulnerable Democrats have fretted for weeks that the Biden administration lacks a clear vision. And many of them have begun to privately push their leadership to take up popular bills on the biggest issues they’re hearing about back home, such as the skyrocketing cost of prescriptions, food and utilities, as well as rising crime.
