This week, President Biden visited the NIH and outlined his plans for combating Covid through the winter months. Biden promised to fight with “science and speed, not chaos and confusion,” and bemoaned the fact that Covid policy has become so politicized. Meanwhile, Democrats are trying to figure out how they’ll keep control of Congress in the face of terrible poll numbers. Moderates like Rep. Abigail Spanberger, Democrat of Virginia, fear that if the party goes too far to the left they’ll lose the swing voters and disaffected Republicans they need to win. And the beltway chatter this week was all about what some think is the inevitable clash between Vice President Kamala Harris and Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg. Has the struggle for the 2024 Democratic presidential nomination already begun? Tom Bevan, co-founder and president of RealClearPolitics, Carl Cannon, Washington Bureau Chief, and Susan Crabtree, White House and national correspondent join Andrew Walworth on today’s RealClearPolitics Takeaway podcast.
