Biden is doing a good job so far. Keep on the moderate path. Select a solid VP for 2024 or 2028. Continue the messaging of reform and oversight but don't go overboard.
I would like to hear more about the pandemic from him but understandably he's keeping a lower profile and letting Trump do his thing. Ultimately, he'll need to come up with "this is how we prevent the next one" or "this is what I'd do if we get a next one" etc. as we get closer to Nov.
Trump's latest attempt to tag Biden as a radical flops - POLITICO
Quote:
Trump lit into Biden on Twitter, painting him as the leader of the “radical left” and responsible for a movement that celebrates anarchy, coddles “antifa” and demonizes law enforcement.
But the swiftness and clarity of Biden's dismissal, which came as CBS, ABC’s “The View” and other media outlets were peppering Democratic politicians with questions about defunding the police, suggests Biden's team wanted to head off an issue it saw as politically poisonous.
And at least for now, they've succeeded. Biden emerged from the attacks on Monday without suffering any significant backlash from activists who've embraced the "defund" movement.

Biden has banked his candidacy on a tried-and-true path in which he's moved left on some policies without going too far. His campaign points to that moderation as among the reasons that polling shows he’s eating into constituencies that Trump won in 2016, including suburban and older voters.
On Monday, moderates applauded Biden’s stance, which rejected cutting funds to police departments, but supported reforms and oversight.
And while it was the latest example of Biden knocking a left-wing idea embraced by his party’s activist base — he also opposed "Abolish ICE" and Medicare for All during the primary — by and large, progressives didn’t express the outright disdain for Biden that Trump might have been expecting.
