WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden promised voters in 2020 that he knew how to get things done in Washington and could bring stability to the capital. It seemed like a message out of step with the more combative era brought on by Donald Trump.
But Biden prevailed, and as he seeks a second term, he’s again trying to frame the race as a referendum on competence and governance, pointing to the bipartisan debt limit and budget legislation he signed on Saturday as another exemplar of the success of his approach.
His approach, favoring pragmatism over Trumpian pugilism, will be tested as never before in the coming campaign, with his approval rating even among Democrats low despite the results he has delivered, in large part because of concerns about his age as the oldest person to ever seek the presidency.
Biden himself on Friday underlined the contrast with the combative character of the Republicans’ race and his adult-in-the room posture. He called on both parties to “join forces as Americans to stop shouting, lower the temperature,” even as he highlighted GOP opposition to his efforts to raise taxes on wealthy individuals and corporations and cut tax breaks.
“Republicans defended every single one of these special interest loopholes,” Biden said, testing out a campaign line he is expected to hone in on in the coming months. “Every single one. But I’m going to be coming back. And with your help, I’m going to win.”

Biden is the Benedict Arnold of the USA in turning the Country over to the Mexican Cartels.
We have to live with Democrats, we can’t kill them, but don’t ever say they are pragmatic.
I’d sooner deal with a drunk Russian than a USA Democrat any day I and my family would be safer.
His approach, favoring pragmatism over Trumpian pugilism?
Oh, he means double gas and food prices, interest rates, pedophiles openly hitting on children, open borders...Got it.
Ass Press laying it on thick.
Problem is those words and phrases seem wildly out of his vocabulary. And the dupes who fell for his plan of looking like a moderate, calming grandfather whose maturity and experience would end the Trump turmoil and BLM rioting-—which the Dems set up deliberately——see now he was a Marxist Trojan Horse.
Mature? Like a fossil with a petrified forest brain.
“...adult-in-the room posture...”
This is the Puppet who needs a nurse to follow him around to wipe up after him. Biden admitted this himself. An “adult” does not need a nanny to change his diaper!
The ONLY thing adult about Biden is his penchant for adult/child rape sex. He is a PROVEN pedophile!
I learned decades ago to ignore what politicians say and focus on what they do.
oh look
its a biden 2024 press release
Biden/Fetterman 2024! It’s a no brainer!
The AP has me convinced! The new Washington, McArthur, Lincoln and JFK all rolled into one!
AP is pathetic joke. Biden is the most divisive POS since FDR. Pragmatist my a$$. Everything he does is to get to socialist hell hole.
Yup
“Democrats low despite the results he has delivered”
There was an article posted earlier on FR- the FDA is allowing the sale of a non approved chinese chemo drug because this country is running out of chemo drugs. Those are the types of results Americans are seeing.
Give me a break.
Agree. Joey pushing pragmatism? That Lying, Pervert, Pedophile, and Sexual Deviant DECLARED WAR on American citizens with his RED speech in Filthadelphia.
Joey Biden is one good fall away from Hell. Enjoy the “trip” Joey!!!!
Oh what bile...
the bipartisan bill he is now going to tout as a great success that he has given us the right direction forward, was given to him by the GOP.
So scum Biden runs on a stolen election.
Why would they not cheat and steal another election. Nothing was done about 2020 or 2022, so why should we believe 2024 will be any different?
So Joe, who’s your current favorite source to plagiarize from?
Have you stopped showering with your daughter yet?
“...with his approval rating even among Democrats low despite the results he has delivered...
Results? RESULTS? Never thought I’d live long enough to see the day where Jimmah Carter was an order of magnitude better that the dementia-stricken communist retard we have now.
