He's back: Biden returns to the campaign conversation [View all]
Somehow — before his party finished reckoning with his legacy — Joe Biden returned.
The former president waded into two Democratic primaries last week to endorse candidates who’d worked for his administration: Keisha Lance Bottoms in the Georgia gubernatorial race, and Dan Koh, who’s seeking an open House seat in Massachusetts.
And in California’s gubernatorial battle, Biden’s former Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra has picked up endorsements and momentum ever since disgraced ex-Rep. Eric Swalwell bowed out. He hasn’t gotten formal backing, but Becerra is running openly on his record in Biden’s administration.
The beginnings of Biden nostalgia in Democratic primaries show how cleanly the party is hoping to pivot this year’s midterms to President Donald Trump’s economic record, effectively recasting its 2024 defeat as an “affordability” battle that now can be won. Democrats have ignored Trump’s frequent insults of his predecessor, pegging it as a distraction from the president’s own unpopularity with swing voters.
