Biden seeks to rebound from brutal August

President Biden is seeking to go back on offense and reclaim the narrative surrounding his presidency after a brutal August that saw his approval rating drop amid the chaotic fall of the U.S.-backed government in Afghanistan and rising COVID-19 cases at home.

During the first few months of Biden’s presidency, his team was confident that voters had faith in the President's leadership on the issue, but the falling poll numbers and staggering pandemic has raised questions about whether the public confidence is wavering.
Biden on Thursday offered a bristling speech where he blamed the spread of the COVID-19 virus on the unvaccinated while announcing measures that require federal workers to get vaccinated.
