Only 40% of voters say Biden “is in good health,” while 50% disagreed. That 10-point gap represents a 29-point shift since October 2020, when ⁦@MorningConsult⁩ found voters believed Biden was in good health by a 19-point margin. ⁦@MarcACaputo⁩ https://t.co/Jghnu47nyJ — PolitiTweet.org

Will the signing of the bipartisan infrastructure bill be a steppingstone for Biden toward a political turnaround or a blip in time destined to be quickly forgotten amid Washington rancor? ⁦@shearm⁩ https://t.co/00mOwlzrLD — PolitiTweet.org

Out tomorrow: “Betrayal,” by @jonkarl, one of the smartest books I’ve read about the Trump White House by one of the smartest White House correspondents we have. Lots of great reporting and insight. https://t.co/AS4XJQSO3y https://t.co/iaHVDec879 — PolitiTweet.org

The Biden team thought inflation was "transitory," covid was "on the run" and a Taliban takeover was "not inevitable": Growing numbers of Democrats worry that the White House has repeatedly underestimated challenges. ⁦@tylerpager⁩ https://t.co/L76U9t4aaV — PolitiTweet.org

As new congressional maps come together, Republicans have already added enough safe House districts to capture control of the chamber based on redistricting alone. @reidepstein @NYTnickc https://t.co/E0N7SiSRCY — PolitiTweet.org

"How have modern autocrats achieved such impunity?” @anneapplebaum asks. "In part by persuading so many other people in so many other countries to play along. Some of those people, and some of those countries, might surprise you.” https://t.co/tojIbwOJ8W — PolitiTweet.org
