Progressives decry Biden’s pivot to center in run-up to 2024: ‘Feet to the fire’

From oil to immigration, the president's reversal from his 2020 campaign pledges might turn away more voters than it attracts

When he was running for president in 2020, Joe Biden promised no more drilling on federal lands, period". This month, he approved an $8bn oil project in Alaska, violating that campaign pledge.

Biden had said he wholeheartedly supports granting statehood to the District of Columbia. Last week, he signed a Republican bill overturning changes to the DC criminal code, which critics attacked as a violation of home rule.
