However, I would like to add what’s missing is a critical analysis of Biden’s economic policies. Biden who orchestrated the Obama’s administration agenda of public spending (infrastructure projects), 3rd Party Programs (such as the weatherization project) and tax credits, not tax cuts (such as the questionable new home buyer program), knows that these efforts resulted in slow growth. He executed these programs and with hindsight knows this factually.

Trump was able to exploit the slow growth argument and the exportation of jobs to China and win a presidency. So, it is as you say, “It will be Obama redux all over again for Joe Biden.” Biden policies, just like Obama’s don’t significantly engage rural whites, and address the China problem. “The Achilles Heel” of the Democratic Party isn’t McConnell, but the denial by moderate Democratic leadership, that the Democratic Party is truly a COALITION PARTY. 

However, Biden with his 2nd round of Obama 2.0 of public spending, 3rd Party Programs and Tax Credits isn’t addressing his coalitions’ demands, when it comes to actual solutions, and he has yet to craft a meaningful outreach economic plan to rural whites and an actual path to growing new manufacturing jobs. Our greatest challenge is to open his eyes to these realizations.

McConnell can be beaten roundly, once you give the people what they want!
