Breaking:Democrats Face ‘Equally Urgent’ Issue Besides Biden: Party Consultant Warns

Published

on

Democratic strategist and attorney Julian Epstein warned on Saturday in an opinion article about an “equally urgent” issue that Democrats should look at besides President Joe Biden amid this year’s presidential election.

Last month, Biden and former President Donald Trump participated in the first presidential debate of this year’s election cycle, which was hosted by CNN in Georgia. As the two sparred over key issues during the debate, both faced high stakes, with polls suggesting many voters are unhappy with their choices ahead of the election.

In addition, Biden, 81, and Trump, 78, have faced concerns about their age. However, Biden failed to quell those concerns during the debate after he appeared to lose his train of thought at times and stumbled in his responses. The president’s debate performance has led some members of the Democratic Party to consider replacing him as its nominee. However, there is no indication of who would be proposed as a candidate and Biden’s campaign has vowed to not step down.

In an opinion column published by the New York Post on Saturday, titled “Replacing Biden is only a start—Democrats must also change their policies,” Epstein, who previously served as Democratic chief counsel to the House Judiciary Committee, discussed that a “self-examination” of the party’s policies is “equally urgent” as concerns over Biden’s ability to serve a second term continue.

“Equally urgent is an examination of the cultural rot that deluded party officials into believing they could pull the wool over the voters’ eyes about Biden if they—and their allies in newsrooms—just repeated it often enough. Let’s start with the policy problem first,” Epstein wrote.

He continued: “In recent years, the Democratic Party has moved to the far left, ceding much of its policymaking to the intersectional cultural warriors who mostly understand complex economic and social issues through the lens of oppressor/oppressed theology. Even before the debate debacle, the Biden-Harris team was losing its bid for reelection largely because of the unpopularity of increasingly hard leftist positions on nearly every major issue other than abortion.”

A few of the key issues that have been consistent talking points amid this year’s election include: abortion, immigration, and foreign aid.

During the debate, Trump knocked Biden over his handling of several foreign policy issues, including ongoing conflicts in Ukraine with its war with Russia and Israel in its war with Hamas.
