Seventy-seven percent of Democrats said Biden has accomplished \u201ca great deal\u201d or \u201ca good amount\u201d in that time frame, while 32 percent of Independents and 7 percent of Republicans said the same.<\/p>\n<p>The president is unlikely to see many \u2014\u00a0if any \u2014 of his legislative initiatives cross the finish line in the final two years of his term amid a divided Congress, underscoring the importance of touting Democratic wins from the previous session.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Democrats have to flip at least five seats next November to retake control of the chamber, an undertaking that the caucus is already gaming out. Rep. Suzan DelBene (D-Wash.), the chairwoman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, said on Wednesday that there are 18 Republican-held seats in districts that Biden won in 2020, calling the map \u201cincredible opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr5_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re recruiting great candidates across the country, we\u2019re gonna defend our incredible members and take back the majority so that we have Speaker Hakeem Jeffries,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>The retreat comes roughly three months into House Democrats\u2019 time in the minority, which has been dominated by votes on Republican messaging bills and hearings on hot-button issues like the situation at the southern border and <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social media<\/a> censorship.<\/p>\n<p>For their first legislative effort of the session, House Republicans\u00a0passed a bill\u00a0to rescind the bulk of an IRS funding boost that President Biden signed into law last year as part of the Democrats\u2019 Inflation Reduction Act. And earlier this month, the GOP-led House Oversight and Accountability Committee\u00a0held a hearing\u00a0focused on Twitter\u2019s decision to limit the spread of a New York Post story about a laptop belonging to the president\u2019s son, Hunter Biden.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr6_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Part of their strategy for taking back the majority, Democratic lawmakers said, is creating a contrast with the group they have consistently dubbed as \u201cextreme MAGA Republicans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are working hard to continue to make sure our message is heard by the American people, and that we hold Republicans accountable for their extreme agenda,\u201d DelBene said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to make sure that people see what Republicans are, what their message is, which is extreme.

Biden,\u00a0who is the oldest person to hold the presidency at age 81,\u00a0is widely expected to run for a second term, but when that announcement will come remains unknown.<\/p>\n<p>The 2024 Republican presidential primary is already underway, with former President Trump and former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley having thrown their hats in the ring. And Democrat Marianne Williamson, who ran for president in 2020, confirmed that he will formally announce a 2024 campaign this weekend, setting up Biden\u2019s first primary challenger.<\/p>\n<p>Asked Wednesday, hours before Biden was set to address the caucus, if the president should announce his reelection campaign sooner rather than later, Aguilar said the decision rests squarely with Biden and his team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI trust that the president and his team are going to have those conversations with the American public in the proper timeline, under a timeline that he and his family are comfortable with,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe look forward to the president affirming that we are partners in this progress that we have made. We look forward to him talking about his economic agenda, how we\u2019ve been able to create jobs, how inflation is cooling, and how more people are back at work,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
