Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin was invited to participate in Biden’s exclusive Zoom call, and reported:
One had the impression that Biden senses the potential for not only a big win but a unique moment akin to the 1930s. “I do think we’ve reached the point where one of those trite phrases everybody uses . . . it’s a real inflection point in American history and I don’t believe it’s unlike what [President Franklin] Roosevelt [faced].” He continued, “I think we have an enormous opportunity to make some really systemic changes relates to racism but institutional ways in which we handle things And I think the country is really ready.”
Rubin emphasized that while Biden was also careful to present a more moderate persona to nervous voters, he understood that he “must win and win big so as to throw fear in the Republicans and claim a mandate” for larger changes.
Far from turning toward the center, Biden has shifted increasingly left after securing his party’s nomination.
