Biden policies timed to boost voter turnout in November: Dem strategists
'We did the same thing,' said a Clinton White House official
By Haris Alic | Fox NewsPresident Biden is harnessing the full powers of the presidency to help Democrats avoid a Republican landslide this November. He is hoping a series of executive actions can boost turnout for Democrats and blunt GOP attacks on issues like inflation, Democratic strategists acknowledged to Fox News Digital.
"There is no question Biden and Democrats are integrating what they can do in the government with their political midterm message," said Mark Penn, a Democratic pollster and strategist and a Fox News contributor.
"Biden in particular has such low approval ratings that he had to get out there and do something."
Strategists say Biden's recent executive actions appear focused on giving young voters, who overwhelmingly vote Democrat, a reason to turn out at the polls. They cite as proof the president's recent decisions to cancel upward of $20,000 in student debt for borrowers and his pardoning of people convicted of marijuana possession at the federal level.
