Yes ALL the media attention on the Debt Ceiling /Budget situation HAS been House Republican McCarthy….
THAT is NOT gonna change….
(Biden HAS been here time after time…McCarthy has not)
President Biden does NOT do so good infront of the media….
He tends to stumble….
He tends to make mistakes….
You notice he doesn’t do press conferences….
THAT is what we have from him….
He does policy….
(He IS the President with that day job)
He does Twitter…..
Some Democrats and media editiors ain’t gonna be happy….
And next year will be seening most of the same thing….
Donald Trump twisting in the wind and stories of other Republicans racing to the Right….
