With President Joe Biden rounding out his first year in office amid a sinking approval rating and multiple setbacks to his agenda, the White House is planning a new communications strategy, senior administration officials say.
Biden’s reset plan, senior administration officials said, is to make his conversations with members of Congress less of a public priority and to emphasize spending more time communicating directly with Americans. The officials said that the White House will continue negotiations with Congress over Biden’s legislative priorities but that it would stop releasing details of the talks to the public.
What some of Biden’s aides have expressed concern about most is the impression that he is seemingly bogged down at the White House, giving too many “one-dimensional” speeches from Washington instead of showcasing what they see as his greatest political strength: empathy and an ability to connect with ordinary Americans.
But finding the time and the best venues outside Washington has been a challenge, both because of how much time Biden has invested in congressional negotiations and because the pandemic has made such travel outside the capital more complicated and time-consuming.

The media heads, including social media, will be herded into a room to meet with biden. He will order them to stop reporting that he is a failure.
They will comply.

They were handing out $100 gift certificates for getting your booster shot. Will they give me a $100 gift certificate for coming to a meeting with Joe Biden and listening to him?
$100 too skimpy, plus I want my carfare reimbursed. Ready to bargain.

He can’t communicate with anyone let alone the “American People..” he is a sarcastic, snide and demented shell of a man who has plagiarized, and exhibited blatant racism for most of his “professional” career.

And of course there’s the bald-faced, readily disprovable lying. So let’s see what we have: demented, cantankerous, grating, dishonest, unintelligent, possessed of an impulse to tyranny, and wedded to failed or doomed-to-fail policies. Yep. It’s just that the messaging is off.

“empathy and an ability to connect with ordinary Americans.”
Empathy? He’s a rude asshole, a racist, a thief and a fake... and has been for his whole career.

I would say between trying to force Americans into a medical procedure they had reservations about, his rant on voting legislation, the open border invasion, etc. the messaging is pretty clear to anyone who doesn't have their head up their posterior.

Maybe Hillary will loan him her rest button.

The last thing Biden’s reputation needs is “more contact with Americans” because the more he talks the more Americans realize how senile he is.

This presupposes that Biden himself had a functional agenda and started on it, both of which are in doubt. < /s >

Expect an unending stream of 20, 30, 40, 50 minute videos of FJB successfully negotiating staircases.

giving too many “one-dimensional” speeches from Washington instead of showcasing what they see as his greatest political strength: empathy and an ability to connect with ordinary Americans. He has all the empathy of that grumpy old neighbor who would stab your basketball if it went over his fence.
