With President Biden rounding out his first year in office amid a sinking approval rating and multiple setbacks to his agenda, the White House is planning a new communications strategy, senior administration officials say.

. “He’s mindful that he doesn’t want to send the message that his role is to be legislator-in-chief,” another senior administration official said.

Biden’s advisers are looking at a variety of ways for him to engage more with Americans, officials said, but there is no agreement yet about what the alternatives might entail. And while there is unity among advisers about having Biden “talk to more people directly,” another official said, there is no agreement about whether the effort will work.

Changing a White House strategy to engage more directly with Americans is an evergreen reset plan that has been activated by previous presidents who have found themselves in politically precarious moments. For Biden, that moment has arrived earlier than his team expected, after early momentum from his sweeping safety net bill.

“Oftentimes in modern history when a president has frustrations and drops in the polls, the president will say, ‘It's now time for me to talk over the heads of the elites and talk directly to the people to convince them that what I'm trying to do is right,’” presidential historian Michael Beschloss said.

Biden has struggled to gain his footing on the coronavirus pandemic, which he promised to get under control and ultimately defeat, with mixed messages from his administration, testing shortages and a new variant that has swept through the country. He also has been hampered by the collapse of

A new messaging strategy? But histrionic hyperbole and demonizing half the country is going so well.

C'mon man. Brandon is greatest president of all time. Not a joke. I really mean it? It's not hyperbole. You know the thing. Everyone doesn't understand brilliance.

Biden doesn’t need to work on communication. We hear him. We just don’t like what we hear.

That's right, just say it better. Lol.

Can it be better than this? LetsGoBrandon

Not sure how else anyone could spin the propaganda over there

Damage is done, trust broken, speech written by person full of hate insulting half of Americans as enemies, traitors, deplorable, bigots. PBS Jonathan thought it was the-best speech ever given by Biden. PBS should be ashamed for having such a racist reporter on staff

Are you kidding me? The media never even thinks about criticizing anything bad joe or Kamala do communications aren't the problem they just really suck they suck at interviewing they suck at being unscripted

Terrible leftist policies

1st year in office and Im paying more for literally everything. Jobs are not giving raises and inflation is ridiculous. Im not political at all but this guy aint it.

Keep Mr. Magoo away from the mic. Doesn't drop it just knocks it over.

You mean the yelling and screaming hasn’t worked for them? 🤔

If he wants to accomplish anything he will need to move more to the center and work with Republicans on bipartisan legislation.

Let kamala run things for a year and she will make you look good.

You mean like starting over. Really, America voted for this crap show and now he wants to start over. Americans don't want a due over.

More frequent talking point memos for the media propaganda machine? BidenWorstPresidentEver

Good luck trying to fix this:

LOL, yeah, it's all just because of their communications 🤣🤣

It ain’t the messaging. It’s the policies. Crappy policies lead to crappy messages. Garbage in…garbage out. Start with a new Press Secretary who isn’t snarky & snide.

Yes, it's definitely not the stupid policies that are terrible and everyone hates. It's the marketing.

Of course it’s the official White Press Secretary’s fault. If she can’t follow what he’s saying who can? Scattered meandering, inability to put together rational thinking must be her fault. How did Biden pass the Wellness cognitive test anesthetized.

it would have been a tough year for any POTUS ❣️🇺🇸🗽💪 staySTRONG unitedWEstand

That’s all they need, lol.

More whispering

The democrat mantra- it's always the messaging. Never the fact that the proposals stink.

Oh bullshit! I am so tired of MSM giving the GOP a pass on everything and trashing Biden every chance they get. Where were you when Trump and his minions were plotting and attempting the overthrow of the goverment?

Biden has done everything right, people are ungrateful. Not his fault covidiots wont vax and are dying, not his fault we have treasonous senators. Ungrateful voters deserve what they get, stop blaming the POTUS for your problems.

Reset read the article. People don't want his current agenda. We want inflation taken care of and the lawlessness going on in our country. That's his problem he doesn't listen to the people..

Real journalism is what's sinking. Crump made ALL MEDIA about him now you think thats how every sitting president is supposed to act. While the wealthy rob us blind! And no arrests are being made for domesticterrorism nor for gopcoup

If it's bragging please dont

Maybe the issue isn’t the president. Maybe the issue is the 50 Republican senators hell-bent on the destruction of democracy?

How about taking open and all questioning from reporters? Don’t pick from a handpicked few - you know, like the other guy did.

Beating up false news for ratings.

? The polls don't refect that? What is going on here?

He has brought stability, decency and respect back to the White House. He has brought us back into the global alliances we have had for decades. Republicans want him to fail because all Republicans fear the wrath of loser Trump.

No President has ever completed everything in the first year. Even doing everything in just one term is difficult depending on what their platform promised. Let’s look at everything he has accomplished so far TOO against everything he promised and really take a fair look.

U mean like the post BBB defeat reset a few weeks ago

They going to put Biden back in the basement for the next 3 years?

He’s destroying this country. The only reset is the next election.

His predecessor was even worse:

Good so far their comms team seems lazy

Ah! So, the problem is at the communication

FJBiden

“Plots”? They’ve got the willfully ignorant minority tanking or complaining about every positive step they’re taking. But they’re the ones plotting? This is why ppl malign mainstream media.

Amazing how Trump accomplished zero in 4 whole years and never got trampled on this much by the press.. give me a break w/his agenda failed..,

Communication isn’t his problem he has the entire main stream media on his side

Keep tryin’ Biden!

Awful take. This is stupid.

It is not just about having a new communications strategy - as if any future move in this area would be construed as anything 'new'. The Biden administration seems moribund in many ways - across its officers - and also uncertain, steer-less, of what they want to accomplish. 🧐

I suppose it couldn't hurt, but I hope that's not the extent of their plans...

Maybe try a strategy of actually doing something.

The communications aren’t the problem…it’s the results

The media is doing great at helping sink a nation with the narrative.

I'm not happy Google hasn't given the option to pair 2 Nest Audio's with a Chromecast Google TV for TV stereo send like they promised would happen last year The new sound is a lot better imo; sounds more like pink noise than white noise, which is more relaxing and better for sleep. Though I suppose that's not what everyone uses it for.
