A term that began with lofty F.D.R.-like ambitions is now at a standstill. How would you rate the President\u2019s performance after a year?\u201d the<em> New Yorker<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/culture\/the-new-yorker-interview\/is-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-an-insider-now?utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=onsite-share&amp;utm_brand=the-new-yorker&amp;utm_social-type=earned\">asked<\/a> Ocasio-Cortez, who attempted to walk a line, failing to heap praise on Biden but refusing to heavily criticize him either.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p class=\"paywall\">\u201cThere are some things that are outside of the President\u2019s control, and there\u2019s very little one can say about that, with Joe Manchin and [Kyrsten] Sinema,\u201d Ocasio-Cortez said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">\u201cBut I think there are some things within the President\u2019s control, and his hesitancy around them has contributed to a situation that isn\u2019t as optimal,\u201d she continued, citing worries of what she called \u201canalysis paralysis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">\u201cAnd we don\u2019t have much time. We should really not take this present political moment for granted, and do everything that we can,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">\u201cAt the beginning of last year, many of us in the progressive wing\u2014but not just the progressive wing\u2014were saying we don\u2019t want to repeat a lot of the hand-wringing that happened in 2010, when there was this very precious opportunity in the Senate for things to happen,\u201d she added, suggesting Biden is having \u201creluctance to use executive power\u201d to achieve far-left goals, one of which, she said, is student loan debt cancellation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">\u201cOne of the single most impactful things President Biden can do is pursue student-loan cancellation. It\u2019s entirely within his power. This really isn\u2019t a conversation about providing relief to a small, niche group of people. It\u2019s very much a keystone action politically,\u201d she said, suggesting his refusal to take action has \u201cdemoralized a very critical voting block that the President, the House, and the Senate need in order to have any chance at preserving any of our majority\u201d in the midterm elections.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">\u201cThe President has a responsibility to look at the tools that he has,\u201d she said when asked what is achievable before the midterms for Democrats.<\/p>\n<div class=\"Container-imGeBO ftlPuP\">\n<p>Recent surveys <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/midterm-election\/2022\/02\/10\/midterms-republicans-take-clear-lead-over-dems-in-poll-averages\/\">show<\/a> Republicans taking a clear lead over Democrats ahead of the midterms, which will decide which party will have control over the House and Senate for the remainder of Biden\u2019s term.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Far-left Rep.
