"And in this situation, it’s certainly the case.” Gaspard, who is currently president of the liberal Center for American Progress, said Biden has a strong record since taking office and now needs to demonstrate that he's "a man with a vision for tomorrow.” Biden's allies insist that the president is routinely underestimated, dating back to the 2020 Democratic primaries. “They’re just not mature enough to sit at the table and govern," said Cedric Richmond, a former top White House official who is now a senior adviser to the Democratic National Committee. “At the end of the day, you can’t argue with the extraordinary accomplishments, more than almost any other modern president, that President Biden has achieved, again, under the toughest of circumstances,” Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said in a Sunday interview with CNN's “State of the Union.” However, Biden still faces skepticism from the country at large.
