Joe Biden doesn’t need to worry about his prospects in South Carolina’s Democratic primary next week. He’s got that locked up.
He also knows he’s not likely to win the solidly red state come November. It hasn’t voted for a Democrat since 1976.
He’s spending this weekend in the state nonetheless, intent on driving home two messages: He’s loyal to the state that saved his campaign in 2020 and he’s determined to win back Black voters here and elsewhere who were central to his election last time but are less enthused this go-round.
Biden will be the keynote speaker Saturday night at the state party’s fundraising dinner ahead of its first ever “first-in-the-nation” Democratic primary on Feb. 3. He’ll stick around to attend a political event at St. John Baptist Church on Sunday, in a state where politics and faith are intertwined.
What? Biden hasn’t made any comments like that. Are you a troll?
Biden set Yellen and Powell in a fight against American workers for having the audacity to finally get some long overdue wage increases. All three of them have blamed inflation on wages rising instead of corporate greed.
Biden has also vocally opposed working from home for federal employees.
That makes zero sense. Even if you think he’s cartoonishly evil, why would he complain about wage increases? Biden has been playing up the historic increases in wages. He mentions it all the time. It’s good for him politically.
