That's what this administration is prioritizing. But thanks to so many Republicans in the Senate and house, there's almost nothing it can do
Yes and no. Congress is a mess in its current configuration and nothing is likely to get done, but I think there are at least four issues on which the dems can run much more aggressively in 2024 and win legislative majorities: reproductive, voting, and worker’s rights, and health care.
Large numbers of American know that the system is broken when it comes to these issues and are not going to fault a candidate for pointing it out as long as they come with a realistic solution.
