Biden Struggles to Unite America Amid Controversies and Policy Divisions
- Biden promised to bring decency back to politics, but controversies like the staffer sex video scandal undermine that image
- Biden administration has taken hardline stances on issues like abortion, immigration, and Israel that exacerbate cultural battles
- Inflation and crises like the Afghanistan withdrawal have dragged down Biden's approval ratings
- Biden's rhetoric of "battle for the soul of the nation" rationalizes vicious partisanship rather than bringing people together
- Polls show Biden in a vulnerable position for reelection, with even many Democrats lacking confidence he can unite the country
