Many top Democrats are convinced that if the election were today, Biden would lose a rematch with former President Trump. Biden’s address on March 7 is his biggest chance to shift public perceptions.

“Everyone around him is well aware — well aware — of the need to jack this campaign up,” a source close to Biden said. “The only way to deal with the negative aftershocks of the special counsel’s report [slamming Biden’s age] is for the president to be out there, to be visible — to be strong of presence and strong of voice.”

One bold move that Biden has considered, we’re told, is an executive order that would dramatically stanch the record flow of migrants into the Southwest. This could even happen in the two weeks before the address, allowing Biden to say he took action while Republicans just talk.

    I think it’s concerning that his memory is seemingly so bad that he forgot he said he’d be a one term president during the 2020 primary.

    Keeping the same candidate isn’t going to be much of a reset, even if I’d still vote for that candidate like my life and the lives of marginalized loved ones depend on it.
