WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden’s recent political revitalization hasn’t stopped some Democrats in competitive midterm races from treating him like an in-law: always welcome but seldom wanted.
Democratic candidates are tiptoeing around his official visits, making case-by-case decisions about whether to appear with him. They're also speaking out against him on certain issues.
One campaign outright said it wasn't interested in a Biden visit, while a veteran House Democrat told voters she is “fighting back” against the president.
Democrats are walking a tightrope in characterizing their ties to Biden, which might seem counterintuitive considering the streak of legislative victories that have won the president a slew of positive headlines and helped his approval rating to start ticking back up.
The dynamic points to friction between Biden’s interests and those of fellow Democrats: He wants to show that he’s no longer politically toxic, and they're worried it might be too soon to take that step. The strained relationships are on display as Biden plans to tour the country, with an emphasis on battleground states, for a victory lap after recent accomplishments, including passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, which is designed to lower the cost of prescription drugs and spend heavily on efforts to combat climate change, as well as an executive action to cancel some federal student loan debt.
“I don’t think there’s any Democrat in a competitive district who is clamoring for Biden to come,” said an aide to a high-profile Democrat in a tough race. “The White House wants to show that they’re back or whatever, but there’s just a disconnect.”

Win streak? Lol
Win streak?!?! Must be opposites day.
One in a row.
That’s because when Biden “wins”, America loses.
WIN streak?
Aug 22, 2022 After Harriet Hageman defeated Liz Cheney on Tuesday, Trump’s updated endorsement record has become 209-17.
THAT, is a WIN streak.
A Biden win streak is when 2 days in a row, all there is in his shorts is a streak.
We are winning! Great post showing that for all of the negative projection of power that the Liberals shower us with, they do not believe their own BS. This is a positive post for truth. Limbaugh was right - We cannot allow ourselves to feel defeated because that is the psyops that the Democrats are so good at.
Hey...Why does Spock have a beard?
Yeah no kidding
NBC never stops lying
Never stops lying, NBC does
What win streak?
LOL perfect
“...passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, which is designed to lower the cost of prescription drugs and spend heavily on efforts to combat climate change...”
Both of which will increase inflation.
Yep the media sure have been trumpeting passage of that inflation reduction act as a great milestone. Biden’s on a winning streak because of one questionable bill passed. That’s their spin on things.
I don’t think that means what they think it means.
Partisan Media Shills and Stooges can't help but spin according to DNC talking points. Any victories the despot Brainless Joe Biden has had, have been against rule of law, our Constitution, and our Bill of Rights.
[...despite win streak.”
Snicker, they know there is no win streak and don’t want the dementia-ridden dummy or the cackling c^nt anywhere near their campaign!
And doubles the size of the IRS. The lying scum don’t mention that with their six writers.
Yeah right. I don’t know where they came up with “Win Streak”. I haven’t seen that from him in the last year and a half.
