Morale among US President Joe Biden and his White House staffers is plummeting as the administration seems unable to solve an onslaught of challenges that have gripped the country, according to an article in Politico.
The outlet claims to have spoken to five White house officials and Democrats “close to the administration not authorized to publicly discuss internal conversations,” who say that internal tensions in the White House have grown as aides engage in “finger-pointing” and panic over staff shakeups.
“President Joe Biden and his aides have grown increasingly frustrated by their inability to turn the tide against a cascade of challenges threatening to overwhelm the administration,” wrote Politico.
Among the hurdles, the article cited issues such as soaring global inflation, rising fuel prices, Russia’s offensive in Ukraine, the potential resurgence of the pandemic, abortion rights and Congress’ inability to pass sweeping gun legislation.
