First Name: President Joe Biden speaks from the Rose Garden

Last Name: of the White House in Washington

President Joe Biden speaks from the Rose Garden of the White House in Washington, D.C., on Sept. 27, 2022. The storm bearing down on Florida forced President Joe Biden to scrap plans to deliver a politically-charged speech in the state. But he campaigned anyway, from behind a podium in the Rose Garden. Biden criticized Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) for wanting to endanger Medicare and Social Security; and he laid into House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy for offering an election year blueprint with “little or no detail.” Joe Biden's delicate midterm dance https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jy1 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jya https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jyd https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jyg https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jyk https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jyn https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jzh https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jzm https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jzp https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jzt https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jzw https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jzz https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8ijx https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8ik8 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8ik0 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8ik4 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8ikd https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8hn2 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8hmr https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8hna https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8hne https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8ho5 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8hoa https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8hoe https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8hoh https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8hol https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8hop https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8ibe https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8ibj https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8ibp “Last week, the Republican leader of the House unveiled what he called the ‘Commitment to America,’” Biden said in his speech Tuesday from the Rose Garden, adding, “God bless America.” The moment may have been refashioned by Hurricane Ian. But it reflected the approach the White House hopes to adopt less than six weeks before the midterms. The president has eased into a familiar cadence: He’s raising cash for Democrats and echoing the big-picture themes the party wants emphasized; he’s doing just enough to stay visible, but not so much that he becomes a heavier anchor. https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8ibt https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8ibx https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8ic5 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8icc https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8icg https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8ick https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8icq https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8il4 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8il8 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8ilb https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8ilf https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8ilj https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8iln https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8ilr https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8ilu https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8ily https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8im2 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8icw https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8id0 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8id3 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8id7 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8idb https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8idf https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8idj https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8idn https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8idr https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8idv https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8ie2 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8idy https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8ie6 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8iea https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8ied https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8ieh Biden is aware — and increasingly comfortable — with the reality that he isn’t wanted everywhere.

Biden himself has, to this point, been comfortable with the lighter public footprint, telling advisers that what matters is holding onto the Senate and that, if he would do more harm than help in certain races, he’d stay away. That’s an evolution from earlier this year, when the president hit a low-water mark, and he complained to aides that he was not in demand on the campaign trail, pointing to his successful efforts as a draw and even a closer in 2018, particularly in tight contests. https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8ij3 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8ij7 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8ija https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8ije https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8ijh https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8ijl https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8ijp https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8ijt https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8ikh https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8ikl https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8ikp https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8iks https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8ikw https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8il0 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8im6 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8ima https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8ime https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8imi https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8iml https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8imp https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8imt https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8in1 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8in5 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8inh https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8inl https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8inp https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8int https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8io3 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8io7 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8iof https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8iom https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8iov https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8ioz https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8ip5 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8ip9 Biden received a pep talk from former President Bill Clinton in May in which the former president urged the current officeholder to do more selling of what his team had done. It was a reunion of sorts for two men who had spoken ahead of the 2010 midterms and developed something of a plan for the Democratic Party to defy the odds and hold on to its congressional majorities, only to see vast aspects of it ignored or changed to a point of being unrecognizable. https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8ipf https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8ipo https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8ipv https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8iq4 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8iqd https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8iqj https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8iqo https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8iqx https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8iqt https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8irb https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8irf https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8irn https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8irs https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8irx https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8is1 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8is4 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8isb https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8isf https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8isj https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8isq https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8isv https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8it1 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8it7 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8itd https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8ith https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8itl https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8ito https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8its https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8itv https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8itz https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8iu2 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8iu6 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8iu9 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8iud Twelve years later, Biden has embraced the idea of being helpful at a 30,000-foot level, sharpening his attacks in speeches to paint the Republicans writ large as out of touch and extreme.

Bush were also at times asked to stay away from tight races. https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jem https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jeq https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jeu https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jez https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jf4 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jf8 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jfb https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jff https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jfp https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jft https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jfw https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jg0 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jg3 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jg7 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jga https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jge https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jgh https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jgl https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jgp https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jgt https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jgw https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jh0 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jh4 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jh8 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jhb https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jhf https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jhi https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jhn https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jhr https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jhv https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jhy https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8ji2 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8ji5 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8ji9 “Districts that are truly swing districts are won by the candidate that stays local, that can avoid national narratives,” said the former senator, who also kept her distance from Obama during her successful reelection bid in 2012 before losing in 2018. “If you are in a swing state or district, the last thing you need is a reminder of a polarizing figure in your party.” https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jic https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jig https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jij https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jin https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jiq https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jiu https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jiy https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jj2 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jj6 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jja https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jji https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jjr https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jk0 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jk3 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jk9 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jkc https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jki https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jkl https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jkq https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jkt https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jl2 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jl5 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jld https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jlg https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jlp https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jls https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jlx https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jm0 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jm9 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jmc https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jmh https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jmk https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jmt https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jmw https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jn2 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jn5 Biden’s imprint on the midterms is more acute in the barrage of TV ads that have run in the late-summer-early fall sprint to the November elections. Between Aug. 1 and last Thursday, Republicans mentioned Biden in 120,000 ads with a total spend of nearly $54 million, according to an analysis prepared for POLITICO by the ad-tracking firm AdImpact. https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jnd https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jng https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jnl https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jno https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jny https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jo1 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jo7 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8joa https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jog https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8joj https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8joo https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jor https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jow https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8joz https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jp4 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jp7 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jpc https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jpf https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jpk https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jpn https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jps https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jpv https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jq0 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jq3 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jq9 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jqc https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jqh https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jqk https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jqq https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jqt https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jqz https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jr2 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jrb https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jrh Over that same time period in 2018, Democrats mentioned Trump in 68,000 ad airings backed by $30 million in spending. Chris Hartline, the top spokesperson for Scott and the National Republican Senatorial Committee, said Biden is weighing in from on-high for one reason, and everything else is merely spin: He’s shunned by most Democratic Senate candidates. Hartline said it’s become clearer that nationalizing races likely helps the GOP — and that a lot of Democrats “rightly believe that the only way they can win is if their brand is completely independent of the Washington Democrats.” https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jrn https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jrr https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jrx https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8js1 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8js8 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jsd https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jsg https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jsj https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jsm https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jsy https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jt1 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jt4 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jt7 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jta https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jtm https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jtp https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jts https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jty https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8ju1 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8ju6 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8ju9 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8juf https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jui https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jun https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8juq https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8juv https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8juy https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jv3 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jv6 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jvb https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8jve “The way that you deploy a president like Joe Biden, who is as unpopular as he is with Republicans and independents, is to try to juice turnout,” Hartline said of the strategy. “But it seems like he can’t see himself, and the White House won’t let people see him, as somebody who appeals to just the progressive base. They have to keep portraying him and pretending that he is a politician that has a broader appeal when the fact is he just doesn’t right now.” https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8k16 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8k19 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8k1c https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8k1f https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8k1i https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8k1l https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8k24 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8k29 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8k2c https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8k2f https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8k2i https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8k2l https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8k3d https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8k3g https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8k3j https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8k3m https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8k3p https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8k3s https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8k4k https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8k4o https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8k4r https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8k4u https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8k4x https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8k50 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8k5z https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8k62 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8k65 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8k68 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8k6b https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8k6e https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8k6x https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8k70 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8k73 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8k76 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8k79 https://ilde.upf.edu/v/8k7c Biden’s schedule of late has been relatively light on campaigning. And when he does make out-of-town speeches, they are pegged to legislative accomplishments. Aides said that Biden will soon start averaging about two trips a week, with more in the final fortnight before the election. While final decisions have not been made about an itinerary, he will likely continue to favor visiting the Rust Belt — he has already made multiple trips to Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Ohio — over further-off locales. There remains the possibility of a Western swing. Some of Biden’s non-campaign events have offered fellow Democrats enough policy grist to make showing up worthwhile. They also reflect the kind of gatherings endangered House and Senate candidates have explicitly told the White House they view as most helpful to them. https://ideone.com/O3HBvK https://pasteio.com/xwv9h2DjBLYe https://bitbin.it/NKta9CkX/ https://controlc.com/5c942e3c https://paste2.org/HdCIdmW7 https://pst.klgrth.io/paste/bt3hh http://paste.jp/3566796a/# https://pastelink.net/7hqokps5 https://www.wowace.com/paste/3791ba3a https://textbin.net/lqr9cwlixk http://th.cpp.sh/87bp5p https://dotnetfiddle.net/ZRzhZc https://paiza.io/projects/hw7Rr7qb6OggummsOlPMFg?language=php https://p.teknik.io/iJgZ5 https://geany.org/p/tqhKO/ https://ide.geeksforgeeks.org/f215458c-a658-4e3b-80bf-cb342692f74c https://pastebin.com/yQSANfq7 https://jsitor.com/zwc0KfiWL https://jsfiddle.net/7t21y3uq/ https://coliru.stacked-crooked.com/a/d2f651c0bbfed172 http://th.cpp.sh/3enes# https://dotnetfiddle.net/DTy0Ad https://paiza.io/projects/DhzDAdFUAOKIP6L_hxg6fw?language=php https://p.teknik.io/fhkaY https://geany.org/p/QrtQ6/ https://ide.geeksforgeeks.org/eeb277ef-1fe8-4f45-a0e8-b3e096da0b6a https://pastebin.com/N2zzHiEH https://jsitor.com/ENrrO2vKE https://jsfiddle.net/ypzx82sh/ https://coliru.stacked-crooked.com/a/3fe5201531be49d1 In some respects, Biden’s hardest work in the midterms was done weeks ago. Tom Perriello, a former Democratic congressman from Virginia who lost his seat in the 2010 cycle, said he was struck by how frontline Democrats excitedly tweeted out photos of themselves at the White House’s celebration for the massive climate and health care package. “That was not something you saw in 2010,” he said. “This was a point at which everyone was starting to abandon [Barack] Obama — other than a few of us.” Perriello is familiar with the dynamic. He was one of the few endangered members of Congress for whom Obama campaigned in the close of that 2010 midterm election; choosing to fully embrace the then-president and his agenda in hopes it turned out the base vote. It worked, but not enough. Perriello lost his campaign. “I think President Biden has played a huge role in turning this into a choice election, pointing out the extremism of the other side and demonstrating the steady progress the Democrats represent, including directly on making the ‘American dream’ affordable again,” Perriello said. “And I think he did that largely before Labor Day in a way that has created a landscape that allows very strong Democratic candidates to close the deal in their individual races.” White House aides are quick to note that even when a candidate eschews a visit from the president, they almost always invoke his record even if not his name. And party officials say the decision is ultimately being left to the candidates themselves. “If it makes sense for a candidate to appear with him, he’ll campaign with him. If not, he won’t,” said Adrienne Elrod, a Democratic strategist with close ties to the White House. “Each candidate will make a decision based on the shape of their own race: sometimes you run with Washington, sometimes against.” Visits to swing districts from national figures, strategists believe, can be useful in terms of generating voter registration and base enthusiasm. But Biden also recognizes that presidents are inherently polarizing, recalling previous cycles when Democrats wanted him on the trail rather than Obama. Still, Biden has made clear that he’s been itching to be on the road more, even if not to appear with specific candidates. He believes that he is the best messenger to tout his administration’s work as well as take on what he has deemed as “MAGA Republicans.” Still, the White House’s plan to get Biden on the road more has continued to happen in fits and starts. Last week, domestic politics took a backseat to international affairs, as Biden went to London for Queen Elizabeth’s funeral and then to New York for the United Nations General Assembly. Florida, which was called off due to an approaching hurricane, was the only political trip planned for the week.
