The article discusses an anecdote from the book 'Original Sin' by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson, which reveals Colorado Senator Michael Bennet's reflections on President Biden's deteriorating ability to govern as he prepared for reelection. Bennet's insight highlights the lack of a coherent immigration policy from the Biden administration and raises concerns about Biden's capacity to mediate differing viewpoints within his team, ultimately affect governance clarity. This underscores a broader theme regarding how Biden's age and decline impacted leadership effectiveness during his final years in office.
It seemed like there were two competing sides of the debate within the administration ... but no one had publicly articulated the president's view on the matter.
Bennet had come to believe that Biden's inability to mediate between the people in his administration with different political viewpoints had led to an incoherent overall position.
It actually mattered, Bennet felt, whether there was an elected official-elected by the American people-who could navigate and articulate disputes.
This anecdote captures what is still a largely unexplored topic: What effect did this decline have on Biden's ability to govern?
