The Washington Post recently ran a piece about Joe Biden’s unique style of presidenting, which has really come into full view during negotiations over his $3.5 trillion spending bill.
According to the Post, it seems that some Democrats are getting frustrated with Biden’s reluctance to take on a more commanding, leadership-oriented role in the process. This quote really captures the essence of the current atmosphere:
“In Biden’s conversations, the president has served primarily as a sounding board, one official familiar with the discussions said, rather than coming in with a concrete demand.” https://t.co/YK7kKFbjit

Ah.
How reassuring that the man supposed to be in charge is considered merely a sounding board. Bravo

Essentially.
Notable quotable from Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI):
“What is it that the president wants? Nobody can even answer that question.”

We’re not sure even Joe Biden can answer that question.
