There's just not much President Joe Biden can do about it.
There's not much he can do to curb inflation.
There's not much he can do to stop migrants from reaching America's southern border. Or to reduce crime, or to make vaccine resisters get shots that would hasten the end of the coronavirus pandemic.
There's not much he can do to compel cooperation from defectors within his thin Democratic congressional majorities. There is nothing at all he can do to compel it from Republican adversaries who would rather aggravate than alleviate his burdens.
In other words, there's not much Biden can do about the heaviest weights depressing his political standing, which has remained stuck in the avalanche-warning zone for months. So his party faces the likelihood of a substantial November election defeat that hands the House and perhaps the Senate to the GOP.
Biden and his aides will spend the next seven months trying just the same, using the White House bully pulpit, executive authority and international diplomacy. Marginal benefits represent the best they can hope for.
Democratic candidates this fall could use campaign attacks to generate the sharp national contrast that presidents typically use to recover from midterm setbacks in their own reelection years. Trump's aberrant behavior, culminating in the deadly January 6 insurrection against American democracy, presents a unique political target.
But history shows presidents can rarely change the political weather in midterm elections. Though the specific meteorological conditions change, the weather is nearly always bad.
Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell observed last week that the Democratic-controlled White House and Congress had hit a "perfect storm of problems." Every available gauge indicates he's right.

this article does nothing but prove the stupidity of the author
Nothing he can do whilst restrained by the wokeness agenda you mean.
He didn’t have much trouble creating them, though.
It’s what statists do for perceived job security.
The author is insane, as is CNN. They use their “bully pulpit” normie analogy whenever one of their pet communists is in power and blowing things. I haven’t heard this many excuses since Jimmy Carter.
Why would liberals say there is nothing Biden can do?
Do about what?
Do liberals have any information that suggests something is wrong?
That’s interesting.
Everything bad that happened during the Trump administration, anywhere in the world, in the atmosphere or deep under the surface of the ocean, was directly the fault of Donald J. Trump, and this fact was seen as obvious and indisputable by the entire elite culture of the Western world.
I saw this leftwing talking point the other day on DU that you can’t blame any problems on biden. Funny how when it’s a Republican’s first day in office everything is instantly their fault.
Oh....okay, this is the excuse. The “perfect storm” of problems. Well, actually, everything was fine and these problems were all created by Biden (actually, whatever Dem loonies are behind him, since he can’t even find his way out of a room on his own).
Even a Dem friend of mine said, in a rare moment of honesty, “well, I hate to say it, because I hated Trump, but we didn’t have these problems with Trump”...
Lead, follow or get out of the way. There is nothing much he can do because he is already doing exactly what he intends.
If there is nothing a president can do about any of those things then we don’t need a president at all… Funny how much Trump got done though…
All Depends for a saddle and no horse.
Open up Federal lands to drilling?
Build the wall?
Build the Keystone pipeline?
Biden is the most feeble and helpless LOSER in American history.
Trump solved all problems as opportunitie, Biden was his own problem!
He let the demons loose, but he can’t corral them again.
Like Pandora’s Box
This is the new messaging. No President could do anything about the present numerous issues.
I agree. Biden is incapable of doing anything.
Biden confronts a host of problems his masters caused
FJB cannot even wipe his own ASS!!!!!
So does FR. You gotta bear down.
