A Tougher Joe?

Today I’m working on a larger thought piece for The Big Picture substack, out later this afternoon.

With his latest Time magazine interview, a more “muscular” Joe Biden is emerging, and he’s aiming to reset the narrative about his leadership style. He’s tougher on the border, on Netanyahu, on Russia, and on the press. 

But is this a savvy political move, or will his harsher policies on immigration, for example, hurt him further among the progressives that he needs in November?

I’ll explore this shift in the President’s strategy and what it might mean for the election. Be sure you’re subscribed to The Big Picture if you’d like to receive my piece in your inbox!
