White House Planning Road Trip to get Joe Back on Track
 [NBC News] Biden’s reset plan, senior administration officials said, is to make his conversations with members of Congress less of a public priority and to emphasize spending more time communicating directly with Americans. "Look, Fat. You're a lying dog-faced pony soldier!" "There is a recognition that we need to change that dynamic," a senior administration official said, adding that Biden has told aides and lawmakers that he intends to make the shift. Part of the goal is to shed the growing image that Biden is approaching the presidency like a member of the Senate, where he spent more than three decades. "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. He had such a stellar record in the Senate, no? What some of Biden’s aides have expressed concern about most is the impression that he is seemingly bogged down at the White House, giving too many "one-dimensional" speeches from Washington instead of showcasing what they see as his greatest political strength: empathy and an ability to connect with ordinary Americans. But it will be a tough job, because ...COVID! But finding the time and the best venues outside Washington has been a challenge, both because of how much time Biden has invested in congressional negotiations and because the pandemic has made such travel outside the capital more complicated and time-consuming.
