Biden likely to balance activist agenda with moderate tone
United States President Joe Biden faces a more desperate situation than the Global Financial Crisis that confronted President Barack Obama, but Biden has also learned some crucial lessons from Obama’s missteps, US politics expert Professor Wesley Widmaier says.
“Even while Biden will be moderate in tone, he is likely to be activist in policies,” the Professor and Head of International Relations at The Australian National University (ANU) said.
“He has already proposed a USD1.9 trillion ‘American Rescue Plan’ marked by funding for vaccinations, a new round of stimulus checks, support for small businesses, states and local governments, and unemployment aid. And another USD2 trillion in proposed infrastructure spending looms over the horizon.”
