After being pulled to the Left during his 2020 campaign, President Joe Biden is being dragged by liberal Democrats before next year's election for his more centrist response to the Israel-Hamas war and his emerging bipartisan compromise with Republicans for a Ukraine-border funding deal.
While there are 11 months until the contest, the Democratic Party's widening divide regarding those topics and more is contributing to the enthusiasm gap for Biden, putting pressure on him to move to the Left again.
Biden promised to be the country's most "progressive" president in 2020 shortly after he secured the Democratic nomination, in part, as an overture to Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), following it up with proposing and passing the American Rescue Plan Act and the Inflation Reduction Act as commander in chief. Simultaneously, Biden campaigned on a unity agenda, pledging to bring people together with bipartisanship based on his centrist record.
