President Biden embarked this week on what is likely the final throes of Democrats’ total control of Washington with a visit to the safe confines of Democratic Party headquarters and mundane ceremonial duties, rather than campaigning as if his presidency depended on it.
Facing the loss of the House and Senate on Nov. 8 and the dire implications for 2024, the unpopular president is keeping to a light campaign schedule this week featuring virtual party events, a COVID booster shot and another trip back home to Delaware.
Mr. Biden took a motorcade Monday to the Democratic National Committee’s campaign center in Arlington, Virginia, to rally party workers.
