Just over a year ago, millions joined forces to send Joe Biden to the White House. But 12 months after he entered the Oval Office, many describe a coalition in crisis. Voices across Biden's political base are openly decrying the slow pace of progress.

If Biden cannot unify his party and reinvigorate his political coalition, the GOP at the state and federal levels will almost certainly grow more emboldened, and the red wave that shaped a handful of state elections last year could fundamentally shift the balance of power across America in November’s midterm elections.Young people are frustrated that he hasn’t followed through on vows to combat climate change and student debt.

“President Biden entered office with enormous challenges — a once-in-a-generation pandemic, economic crisis and a hollowed-out federal government. In the first year alone, he has delivered progress on his promises,” said Cedric Richmond, a senior adviser to the president. He pointed to more than 6 million new jobs, 200 million vaccinated Americans, the most diverse Cabinet in U.S. history and the most federal judges confirmed a president’s first year since Richard Nixon.

“It has been a mistake to have backroom conversations with Manchin and Sinema for the last four months, or five months,” Sanders said. “Those conversations have gotten nowhere. But what they have done is demoralize tens of millions of Americans.

Christian Nunes, president of the National Organization for Women, said she wants to see more urgency from Biden in protecting women’s priorities.Nunes called on Biden to work harder to protect voting rights and access to abortion, which have been dramatically curtailed in several Republican-led states. A looming Supreme Court decision expected this summer could weaken, or wipe away, the landmark Roe v. Wade precedent that made abortion legal.

“He ran as very much a centrist, center-left candidate, but I think that a lot of moderate swing voters are feeling a little bit left out and wondering where the Joe Biden of 2020 went,” Sykes said.

Ask a Democrat. We support him. 👍

People need to read & understand the Constitution. The president is a glorified sales representative with some admin powers. Congress is where the power to do things for citizens is. Political parties are strategic; they relocate people, start businesses, etc... for votes.

You know there was an insurrection on 1/6/21. Can you get some real journalist after this story? Or are you all about sensationalism? Journalist?

“many people are saying”…… your bias is showing..

Why do people believe the lie that the media are a bunch of liberals? They're just like the Republicans; only focus on the negative, fan the flames of anger, mistrust, fear and disappointment, and spread misinformation. YellowJournalism

I’m not apoplectic nor am I decrying his progress. Where are you getting this malarkey? It’s the GOP that’s hindering any steps in the right direction. I’m apoplectic over McConnell, McCarthy, and the boneheads across the aisle.

I know not ONE Democrat who is unhappy with him. Our once trusted news source well not so much….

This is simply disingenuous. There is no crisis outside of GOP obstructionism. Stop LYING.

Nope, get it straight: We’re decrying *Republicans* who refuse to do anything to help the country.

But the Ass Press just keeps doin' its thing.

“Many describe a coalition in crisis”. What a bunch of vague bullshit.

You are not listening to Biden's base. The press STILL does not understand the Democrats, at all...

I would vote For President Biden again in a Heartbeat! But you aren't interested in asking Us!

Fvck off.

EIGHTY-THREE PER CENT APPROVAL FOR BIDEN AMONG DEMOCRATS. Try getting a job working for the RNC.

Why don’t you try keeping your eye on the team at bat - - the GOP, which has the burden of proving to voters they actually can govern rather than merely obstruct - - instead of the team in the field, whose supporters know they’re doing a damn fine job of running the country?

This is stupid

So f*cked up.

another badly written opinion piece 🙄

Trying to get in on that propaganda money… or already in?

I 💙 Biden and am happy with what he has done and is doing. I'm not go to let MSM bs narrative cloud my judgment. We still have covid bc of the unvaxxed and we are keeping it bc of SCOTUS. He brought children out of poverty , unemployment rate 3.9% He got infrastructure passed

I support joe Biden more than ever. You’re getting the reporting wrong.

President Manchin says…

You swing and you miss…again.

This tweet is deliberately misleading. You should delete it and apologize to your readers who rely on you for accurate information.

Do you feel better now? 👻👻👻👻

Poppycock

AP, I know this is weird, but follow me here for a minute: Do you guys know what Republicans are?

Wtf are you talking about?

It’s amazing that journalists want to remain free and be free to report the truth but ATTACK the ones that are trying to maintain both of those freedoms and snuggle up to the opposite side trying to take away those freedoms because, ya know, entertainment clickbait.

He has over 80% approval with Democrats, which is Biden’s political base. Why are you pushing out this false narrative?

Nope

The crisis lies in the chronic obstruction by the GOP & 2 rebel Dems. Also in the incessant misguided attempt by the AP & other media pundits to lay fault w/the obstructed instead of the inability for even 1 GOP Senator to have the backbone to put country before party!

If you wrote stories on how the GOP are holding us back in voting rights, ending the pandemic instead we'd have more progress on a more level playing field instead of slogging uphill. But hey clickbait, right?

Nope.

But of course a minority in the senate holding up progress is totally 46’s fault. He’s just a politician but seriously it’s not exactly his fault that a minority in congress has the ability to stall or stop progress.

Step up MSM abc. CNN NBCNews cbs washingtonpost CNBC nytimes CNBC cnnbrk MSM step up Start making Republicans explain Their Unacceptable voting rights behaviors You've got 50 GOP Senators to choose from 213 GOP House members

A year into Fat Donny’s term he was at 32 or 34% was Meh……. Why does the media hold such a double standard here Pls explain.

The guy who's got 83% approval from Dems is what now? Why don't I believe you, AP? Maybe you should stick to Cletus Safaris.

Misdirected anger & disappointment. The Supreme Court is the problem.

They're crying because they do not know how politics works. They voted for Biden but forgot to vote for the Senators and Congressmen/women. Those are the lawmakers. They are the ones that control the courts, money etc. If they really want to move the country forward vote in Nov.

He's doing good. I'm happy with things but they need to get tougher. Democrats are hoping republicans work with even when republicans say they won't.

This is the story.

Millions joined forces to vote for anyone but Trump. What did the Dems give us an 80 year old career politician and he picked as his VP someone that had to drop out early from the Dem primary. Now you have a President with a 33% approval rating and a VP that hasn’t done anything

There’s a tendency to choose protest over organization. I think a “crisis” should be when you have to choose.

The press pushing Biden is a failure when the only problem is GOP refusing to get Vaxed or wear masks keeping Covid raging. FOX pushing CRT to enrage people. If the Press would stop exaggerating, everything would calm down. Majority of people think the press are morons. Biden

A) because of covid B) because two Dems are cockblocking everything he's trying to pass. Pretty rough to get anything done with all that

Push Left...it is done everyday.

_Politics Maybe you missed the memo, , but the real crisis is the GOP still trying to destroy our Republic from the inside to replace it with authoritarianism and oligarchs. And they use media to pass down defeatist messaging to create division. So congrats to you for falling for it.

What did you expect from “Slow Biden”?

Slow pace of progress? Gross incompetency would be a better description.

Both parties are nothing but a...

If only there had been a forty year record of his abilities.

They have learned that 'Anybody but Trump' is a stupid voting strategy. Now they are being punished by the guy they elected. Never in 4 years was the country as f'ed up as it has been for the last year.

The mid terms are going to be exceptionally cruel to his political base. Biden only won because voted Not Trump. They didn't vote FOR Biden

“Just over a year ago, millions joined forces to send Joe Biden to the White House. But 12 months after he entered the Oval Office, many describe a coalition in crisis. BUT at this bar in San Francisco people are still backing the president and have no intention in stop doing so”

Highest job growth in over 40 years, 3.9 unemployment rate Infrastructure bill Covid relief bill Highest GDP in over 40 years But sure Joe is doing bad

50 million Americans and 30 million Chinese voted for this! Enjoy!!

can you cut the BS.

DonaldJTrumpJr And wasn’t it news organizations like the AP who Trashed Trump and praised the guy who wouldn’t go out in public. I would love to trade this BS for a few mean tweets about now.

I’m apoplectic because the election was stolen by propagandists like AP. They’ve spent a year trying to convince people that JB is not a senile old idiot so now they have to tell the truth.

Shows just how easily the media manipulates public opinion. Anyone who was knowledgeable about the real objectives of the DNC saw all of this coming.

He’s always been incompetent. And America knows it. Just look at his past runs for office.

_Politics The media has been framing the Biden administration negatively. If many people are unhappy, I lay a good portion of that blame at their feet. I’m not asking the AP to whitewash anything, but come on, man, Biden has been doing a great job given the deck he was dealt.

His coalition was covid lmao

Slow? It’s been moving backwards since Brandon has taken over

R u kidding? Govt is never at warp speed even when you have a house majority ( Obama) unless it’s doing often unconstitutional EO’s a la tfg. Stop the whining n support the man, he’s working as fast as possible w a lame house.

JonLemire Yep I’m now a registered Republican.

It's been just a year. With a power hungry republican party in Congress holding the same fuck you agenda blocking everything since Obama and a religion skewed Majority Court who does not care about the law. And scared democrats afraid of losing their seats bc $🗣️ to them.

I am pleased with President Biden.

You can only thank the Republicans for the slow pace , blocking everything that helps Americans

Biden is just another rich old white dude that upholds systems that benefit rich old white dudes.

Businesses react to ruling against Biden vaccine mandate | AP NewsFor companies that were waiting to hear from the U.S. Supreme Court before deciding whether to require vaccinations or regular coronavirus testing for workers, the next move is up to them. Many large corporations were silent on Thursday's ruling by the high court to block a requirement that workers at businesses with at least 100 employees be fully vaccinated or else test regularly for COVID-19 and wear a mask on the job. But they can impose those restrictions on organisations with less than 100 employees? That sounds unfair to small businesses and it will further weaken their ability to compete with big corps in local markets. High inflation, which the American people do not want and cannot afford, continues to break records. No surprise from this group: 3 appointed by the insurrectionist, 1 appointed by a failed GOP potus, 2 appointed by his prodigal son.
