Yet here we are.How has Biden fulfilled this goal again and again? Perhaps it’s because he is the antithesis of our current political dysfunction. LikeLeading up to the weekend’s agreement,that the president was maintaining radio silence and refusing to publicly criticize Republicans, who were, in effect, holding the economy hostage.
Indeed, Biden’s victory in 2020 came, in part, because he was the proverbial adult in the room, who was willing to put aside partisan differences to get things done. Whereas Donald Trump was cruel and capricious, Biden was compassionate. Trump’s harshness contrasted negatively with Biden’s hopefulness.
Liberal critics argue that Biden could have invoked the 14th Amendment, raised the debt limit and avoided making any compromises with Republicans. But such a move would have created — from the White House’s perspective — uncertainty and drama. Now there will be no default, no confusing unilateral measure, no reliance on Supreme Court approval and no government shutdown in the fall. For no-drama Joe, that’s a far better outcome.
