On the Cover of New York Magazine: Joe Biden vs. the Democrats
In our latest cover story, Jonathan Chait posits a unified theory of why Joe Biden’s popular agenda — including a proposed tax on the ultrawealthy, the expanded child tax credit, and a plan for universal community college — is so unpopular. The stakes couldn’t be higher for the president, who’s feeling pressure from progressives to the left of him and centrists to the right: Every time his approval level drops, the chances of a Trump comeback in 2024 get likelier. “The dream of a Rooseveltian presidency was always grandiose, not least because Biden lacks FDR’s giant majorities in Congress. Yet it was a sensible ambition in its form,” Chait writes. “Biden’s goal was to demonstrate the concrete benefits of good government and, in so doing, to disprove the cynical Trumpian claim that Washington was merely controlled by wealthy elites. The Democrats can still come through on that promise, if they can prevent the left wing and plutocratic center from pulling the party apart. But time is running out, and Trump is waiting.”
