The Biden blitz is coming
PoliticoWith that $1.9 trillion legislation set to clear Congress and the pace of vaccinations picking up, the White House is preparing to embark on a new, far more public-facing phase.
Biden is scheduled to deliver his first prime-time address as president Thursday, which will focus on the Covid crisis. Later this month, he’ll hold the first press conference of his young presidency. He’s committed to making a still-unscheduled address to Congress. And officials are busy preparing for a sprawling sales campaign designed to draw attention to the benefits of the Covid-relief package. Biden, first lady Jill Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and others will hit the road to tout, among other things: the $1,400 checks, how billions of dollars in the bill will reopen schools, and the investments being made in increasing the numbers of vaccinations.
“There are a lot of people who use the term ‘victory lap’ in a derogatory way. I’ve already heard people saying that Biden is about to take a victory lap. Well, that’s a lot of crap,” said House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.), a close Biden ally. “One of the—if not the biggest—mistakes that Obama made, in my opinion, was getting the Recovery Act done and not explaining to people what he had done.”
Biden and top administration officials acknowledged they’ll have to do more to ensure the benefits of their package sink into the public’s consciousness. And they’ve spent weeks carefully planning how best to begin their efforts while much of the country remains consumed by the pandemic. White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Tuesday that once the American Rescue Plan is signed, “We will need to do some work and use our best voices.”

The rest is just ‘pork.’
One time Biden goes to the people and it's a "victory lap" 
election people no longer remembered or didn't associate the 2009 stimulus checks that saved the world's economies from collapse and that allowed many to sleep at night and got them though with Obama/Democrats.
The right does its best to obscure, deceive, distract from all we do. If it's good, both they and the illiberal left take credit for it and for stopping us from cheating the people.
Schumer was doubling or tripling down on Maddow's repetitions: "Help. Is. On. The Way!."
though, and re-form the broken center that will destroy our democracy if we can't do it. To the contrary. I believe he had to try.
After all, he had reason to believe it was possible. People and right and left wanted that. After all, in the midst of the Republican push to the far, racist right, we elected a liberal black president by a large margin. And polls said majorities wanted it.
But the right's white male powers were already committed to ignoring the voice of the people and to overthrowing democracy itself, and they were able to keep the right with them.
