Biden must campaign against a man who already thinks he's president - The Boston Globe

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

63% : "Dan Sena, a Democratic strategist, said the campaign would need to get better, and faster, at countering Trump in real time, because Trump has perfected a tactic that Biden has never mastered: creating a new narrative for the news cycle when the current one doesn't suit him.
41% : "It is unclear whether responses from the Biden administration will do much to prompt Republicans back to the negotiating table on immigration, or anything else, now that Trump is flexing his muscles.
40% : On Friday, when Trump had all but torpedoed the border bill, Biden was quick to respond in a way that pointed out that Republicans were walking away from a bill that would allow for the emergency closure of the border.
29% : (Trump failed to do this several times as president.)
26% : The border policy fight, steered by Trump, is "putting on display for the American people where Donald Trump and the Republicans' priorities are, which is not actually solving problems but instead scoring political points," said Kate Bedingfield, Biden's former communications director.
22% : Trump has spent weeks pressuring lawmakers to oppose the deal, and Republicans appear unlikely to defy him.
19% : Like Trump, Biden faces low approval ratings.
17% : On Thursday, in between stints in a courtroom for a defamation trial, Trump posted on social media calling on "all willing states" to deploy National Guard troops to Texas "to prevent the entry of illegals, and to remove them back across the Border," exacerbating a standoff between Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas and the Biden administration.
12% : Asked about what the president thinks of the threat Trump poses, she said Biden talks similarly about Trump in private as he does in public: "He thinks he's dangerous.
8% : As Biden continues to needle Trump on the campaign trail and, more subtly, at official events, Sena said that Republicans may soon be forced to blunt Trump's attacks in other areas, including his repeated efforts to rally support for repealing the Affordable Care Act.
