Biden’s been consumed by Ukraine. His team wants to bring the focus back home. (Brandon understands your pain)

The rest of the world might not allow it. But Joe Biden wants to return his focus to matters happening at home.

With the war in Ukraine entering its second month and continuing to dominate global headlines, White House allies are expressing concern that voters may see the resident as more consumed by international affairs than domestic ones.

The White House itself is keenly aware that voters’ perceptions about the economy are still likely to determine the outcome of November’s midterm elections. And as they warily watch the resident’s poor poll numbers, two senior administration officials said a concerted effort is being launched to reemphasize to Americans that the resident understands their pain and is trying to help.

In the coming weeks, Biden will travel more inside the country and further stress that Russia’s invasion isn’t some far-off crisis but one with deep economic ramifications in the United States.

“Voters, as sympathetic as they are to Ukraine, are getting a little fatigued,” said Celinda Lake, a veteran Democratic pollster. “And they’re wondering: We’re spending all this money abroad, but what are we spending here at home?”

Lake said it was imperative that the resident spend the seven months remaining before the midterms explaining his record and promising to do more. “Half of voters,” she suggested, still don’t know what Biden has accomplished to date.

“They don’t know what’s in the infrastructure package. They don’t know the full extent of the rescue package. They don’t know the executive orders that he’s taken on inflation,” she said, referring to the coronavirus stimulus money sent to states, and the $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure law to rebuild roads, bridges and more.

Is there a Chrome extension that will convert every “President” to “resident” when Biden is mentioned? I love this post.

The meat puppet caused the pain with the idiotic policies he was given on day one.

[Fido969]

This guy made his SOU about Ukraine, and did everything to DISTRACT from the situation at home.

Now that Ukraine has turned into a black hole, he wants to change the narrative, again.

[blueunicorn6]

The Democrats must have been doing some pretty bad stuff in Ukraine.

[BobL]

If he pivoting domestic, then he knows Ukraine is a lost cause.

[Obadiah]

So Ukraine is the result of his focus?! Please, no more focusing — ever.

"They don’t know the executive orders that he’s taken on inflation,” she said, referring to the coronavirus stimulus money sent to states, and the $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure law to rebuild roads, bridges and more.

Idiot. Those orders INCREASED inflation.

… “Joe Biden wants to return his focus” …

Good luck.

[EEGator]

Imagine how bad the internal polls must be.

[VTenigma]

Biden is consumed by dementia, that’s as far as it goes.

So “Yippee America, Let’s Go to War” and “Rah, Rah, let’s send red state conservative children off to fight a war overseas” didn’t work? Is that what you are saying? Time for plan (E) or (F), I guess. I dread to think what the next plan means for our nation.

[NohSpinZone]

Is that what the Easter Bunny told him to say?

I actually would think they’d want to keep the focus on Ukraine, to avoid undue attention on the crap show here at home.

[datura]

Thank you for adding the endorsements- this needs to be repeated often!!!

[Salman]

My guess is Biden is too out of it for this to be true.

However, very possibly there is a difference of opinion within the "team". Or more precisely a power struggle between interests.

[nickcarraway]

He hasn’t been consumed by Ukraine. He would prefer Putin would have grabbed it quicker, but what can he do? He held up his end of the bargain.

In the meantime Pathetico and the other propaganda / apologists are readying their scripts for our next emergency surprise crisis.
