Dems Struggle to Navigate Biden's Presidency

President Biden's recent decisions on crime and immigration have caused some tension with his progressive base, who feel he is shifting to the right on these issues. The most significant intra-party flashpoints have come over crime, which looms as a defining issue ahead of next year’s election. Biden's team has long been wary of charges of being soft on the issue. Some Democrats already are alarmed by stricter rules the Biden administration plans to implement for asylum-seeking migrants. Now they’re upset he’s considering restarting family detention at the border, a policy the administration had largely ended at the beginning of Biden’s term.
