But now that many of Biden\u2019s major agenda items have been passed, he is taking a harder line in hopes of holding Democratic majorities in the House and Senate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou were there [at a time] when you didn\u2019t say [Trump\u2019s] name,\u201d Todd began his interview with Psaki. \u201c\u2018Don\u2019t say their names.\u2019 It\u2019s like Beetlejuice, somehow it won\u2019t show up if you don\u2019t say their name. Now [Biden] leans into it more. Why?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was a strategic decision made when he came into office that \u2018that\u2019s not what the public wanted,&#8217;\u201d Psaki replied. \u201cThe public wanted a President who was going to \u2026 kind of expand the base of people who [are] interested in them. But now, it\u2019s election season again, he did a lot of what he wanted to do, much of it in a bipartisan way, getting legislation done. And now the gloves are off. He\u2019s got to maintain control of at least one house of Congress.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden has stepped up his rhetoric over the summer, saying that Trump and his supporters in the Republican Party are motivated by \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/horribly-insulting-gop-gov-demands-biden-apologize-for-saying-some-republicans-motivated-by-semi-fascism\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">semi-fascism<\/a>\u201d at a donor event in August. He went on to brand them as threats to American democracy in his now-infamous \u201cSoul of the Nation\u201d address on September 1, which was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/biden-slammed-across-political-spectrum-for-optics-of-divisive-speech-satanic-ghoul\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">widely decried<\/a> as one of the most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/grim-old-man-screaming-ben-shapiro-others-react-to-bidens-dark-speech-before-eerie-red-backdrop\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">divisive political speeches<\/a> by an American president.<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s heated rhetoric, however, might not help him or the Democratic Party retain control of Congress.
