Amid a rolling series of calamities and sinking approval ratings, the president’s feeling lately is that he just can’t catch a break — and that angst is rippling through his party.
WASHINGTON — Faced with a worsening political predicament, President Joe Biden is pressing aides for a more compelling message and a sharper strategy while bristling at how they’ve tried to stifle the plain-speaking persona that has long been one of his most potent assets.
Biden is rattled by his sinking approval ratings and is looking to regain voters’ confidence that he can provide the sure-handed leadership he promised during the campaign, people close to the president say.
Crises have piled up in ways that have at times made the Biden White House look flat-footed: record inflation, high gas prices, a rise in Covid case numbers — and now a Texas school massacre that is one more horrific reminder that he has been unable to get Congress to pass legislation to curb gun violence.

You are right on about his campaign. He barely left the basement, and only gave very brief live speeches to a small group of press. Most of his messages were pre-recorded videos from the basement.

That was the Dems plan. They did not want people to see Biden speaking live. The press could be counted on not to talk about or broadcast any of his gaffes, stumbles or dementia moments. They all saw it though and so were in on the con from the beginning.
They did not care that Trump had huge crowds every time he had a rally. They had (paraphrasing Biden’s own words): the most extensive voter fraud organization ever. Republicans are so stupid that they did not use that short video in campaign ads. There are so few people in DC on our side.
Ha! Name ONE Liberal who doesn’t speak gibberish?
Lots of words and emotion... but NO substance! Kamel Face is their poster girl!! 😉
Depression memories of 2022....It was all a matter of “being there”!(LOL!)
I look forward to some ‘feel good’ messaging about what I just paid to fill up my car...
He should buy more hair plugs.
