TAKE with里克·克莱因
总统乔·拜登副总统卡玛拉•哈里斯现在上路吧-一系列去马克的旅行任职100天那可以定义下一个1000左右的样子。
这可能感觉像一场运动,或者至少是一场流行病时代的运动,有汽车集会、面具和社交距离协议。他们竞选的目的既是一个议程,也是一条通向成功的道路清单上的项目完成。
但是两党合作的道路——获得重要的甚至任何共和党人对白宫议程的支持——真的仍然开放吗?哈里斯将于周四在深蓝色的巴尔的摩,拜登在佐治亚州——该州与马里兰州一样,现在有两名民主党参议员。

旅行选择一边,一边拜登周三的演讲晚上邀请共和党的想法,并强调他和哈里斯与共和党人的会议,总统明确表示他的耐心是有限的。
“我只想说清楚:从我的角度来看,什么都不做不是一种选择,”拜登说基础设施投资,他似乎偏离了他准备的文本的重点。
更明确地说,拜登的大部分议程现在甚至没有得到民主党的一致支持。获得共和党人在船上目前看来根本不可行,一些民主党人会认为情况总是如此。
当拜登谈到扩大政府和提高税收时,他知道他的共和党朋友不会对他热情。这使得竞选活动远远超出了国会的范围——塑造公众舆论,并表明拜登是一股足够的政治力量,他的想法应该占上风。

要点是:大胆立法,利用民主党在国会的多数席位不要等共和党人到把事情做完。
“拜登总统在过去几周提出的建议将是重要的步骤——但是不要去那么大因为我们真的需要解决就业、气候和医疗危机我们需要想得更大。"

这种情绪与渴望穿过过道工作我们已经在白宫看到,这可能表明该党的进步派对拜登推进其议程的速度越来越失望,这是对总统的一种早期警告。
对于拜登,谁在他演讲之前周三晚上,民主党被称为“分裂的”,找到吸引他的帐篷中最中间派和进步成员的方法将继续被证明是困难的。

作为拜登标志着他执政的第100天在过道的另一边,另一位副总统候选人将标志着他自己的里程碑:前副总统迈克·彭斯将实现他的首次公开评论自从特朗普政府的终结周四在南卡罗来纳州。
在保守的基督教非营利组织帕尔梅托家庭委员会的年度晚会上发言之前,彭斯还将在全国最多样化的早期初选州之一停留两次。他的办公室说彭斯的话将“将特朗普-彭斯政府的政策成就与拜登-哈里斯政府的前100天进行对比。”

虽然关于投票箱准入的讨论仍在进行,但它也为前副总统可能的2024年愿景提供了先发制人的打击。除了这次旅行,彭斯再次成为全国瞩目的焦点,包括写一本自传,暂定于2023年发行。

Biden's road trip starts as partisan paths loom larger: The Note
The TAKE withRick Klein
PresidentJoe Bidenand Vice President Kamala Harrisnow hit the road-- a series of trips to mark100 days in officethatcould define what the next1,000 or so look like.
It may feel like a campaign -- or, at least, a pandemic-era one, with car rallies, masks and social-distancing protocols. What they're campaigning for is both an agenda and a way to open a path toward gettingitems on that list done.
But is the path of bipartisanship -- of getting significant or even any Republican support for the White House agenda -- really still open? Harris will be in deep-blue Baltimore on Thursday, with Biden in Georgia -- a state that, like Maryland, now has two Democratic senators.
Travel choicesaside, whileBiden's speech Wednesdaynight invited GOP ideas and highlighted meetings he and Harris are taking with Republicans, the president made clear thathis patience has limits.
"I just want to be clear: From my perspective, doing nothing is not an option," Biden said ofinfrastructure investments, in a line where he seemed to stray from his prepared text for emphasis.
To be even more clear, much, if not most of the Biden agenda does not even have unanimous Democratic support right now. GettingRepublicans on boardsimply doesn't seem viable at the moment, and some Democrats would argue that was always going to be the case.
When Biden talks about growing government and raising taxes, he knows better than to think his Republican friends will warm to him. That takes the campaign well outside Congress -- to shaping public opinion, and showing that Biden is enough of a political force that his ideas should prevail.
The RUNDOWN withAveri Harper
Progressives had an answer toBiden's addressvia the Working Families Party, with remarks delivered by freshman Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y.
The gist:Go bold on legislation,take advantageof Democratic majorities in Congress anddon't wait for Republicanstoget things done.
"The proposals that President Biden has put forward over the last few weeks would represent important steps -- butdon't go as bigas we'd truly need in order to solve the crises of jobs, climate and care," said Bowman. "We need to think bigger."
The sentiment is a far cry from the eagerness towork across the aislewe've seen from the White House and could signal growing frustration in the progressive wing of the party with the pace Biden is moving on his agenda, an early warning of sorts for the president.
For Biden, whoprior to his speechWednesday night referred to the Democratic Party as "splintered," finding ways to appeal to his tent's most centrist and progressive members will continue to prove difficult.
The TIP withAlisa Wiersema
As Bidenmarks his 100th day in office, across the aisle, another vice president-turned-possible-presidential-contender will be marking a milestone of his own: Former Vice President Mike Pence will deliver hisfirst public remarkssince theend of the Trump administrationin South Carolina Thursday.
Before speaking at an annual gala of the conservative Christian nonprofit organization, the Palmetto Family Council, Pence will also make two stops across one of the nation's most diverse early primary states. His office saidPence's remarkswill "contrast the policy accomplishments of the Trump-Pence administration with the first 100 days of the Biden-Harris administration."
The move is not lost on Democrats, who plan to hold avirtual press briefingahead of Pence's visit. State party Chairman Tray Robertson, Jr. and Democratic National Committee Chair Jaime Harrison -- a former 2020 South Carolina Senate candidate -- plan to discuss "how Republicans are openly attacking Americans' fundamental right to vote."
While the discussion of ballot box access has ongoing, national relevance, it also offers a preemptive strike against the former vice president's possible 2024 aspirations. In addition to this trip, Pence's reemergence in the national spotlight includes penning an autobiography that has a tentative 2023 release date.
