Joe Biden Struggles to Decide  How Liberal He Is

As the Democratic party continues to shift further to the left, Joe Biden is struggling to define where he falls on today’s ideological spectrum, balancing his record with the party’s liberal stances. The Washington Post gave Biden two Pinocchios for the “half true” statement he made back in April:

“I was always labeled as one of the most liberal members of the United States Congress. If it makes you progressive to mean that you are for Medicare for All or it makes it progressive, then that wasn’t the standard of what constituted in the past what is progressive.” –Former Vice President Joe Biden, in an interview with ABC’s “Good Morning America,” April 29, 2019

Just a few weeks prior to this interview, Biden walked back his claim he made in March stating he had “the most progressive record” of all the 2020 Dems running for president.

Biden is struggling to defend his long legislative record that is now out-of-step with his party. His past policy positions are likely to infuriate left-wing activists who dominate the Democratic party and want a true progressive representing them as their nominee.
