Sean Patrick Maloney (N.Y.) rebuked fellow House Democrat Abigail Spanberger after the Virginia congresswoman criticized Biden&#8217;s agenda as overreaching and out of touch. Maloney maligned Spanberger&#8217;s comments\u2014which included the assertion that &#8220;nobody elected [Biden] to be FDR&#8221;\u2014as &#8220;out of date.&#8221; He also defended Biden, whose approval rating is in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearpolitics.com\/epolls\/other\/president-biden-job-approval-7320.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rapid decline<\/a>, by arguing that congressional Democrats have not done enough to sell the president&#8217;s policy proposals to the American people.<\/p>\n<p>Maloney&#8217;s willingness to side with Biden over a vulnerable incumbent whom his organization has <a href=\"https:\/\/dccc.org\/dccc-announces-members-of-2021-2022-frontline-program\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pledged to protect<\/a>&nbsp;comes after Democrats suffered a <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/politics\/republicans-see-double-digit-gains-in-crucial-virginia-house-districts\/\">shocking string of losses<\/a> in Virginia, a state the president won by double digits in 2020. In Spanberger&#8217;s Seventh Congressional District, Republican governor-elect Glenn Youngkin bested Democratic opponent Terry McAuliffe by 15 points. Spanberger in 2020 won the district by 2 points, meaning that the result marked a 17-point swing.<\/p>\n<p>Spanberger acknowledged Youngkin&#8217;s electoral success with her constituents during a Tuesday appearance on <em>New York Times<\/em> podcast <em>The Daily<\/em>, adding that due to the &#8220;nature of her district&#8221; she &#8220;will have a hard time getting reelected.&#8221; Spanberger also echoed her belief that voters elected Biden to &#8220;be normal and stop the chaos,&#8221; not to enact a sweeping policy agenda.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I would say if you went out and asked any type of voter, \u2018Did you vote for Joe Biden because you wanted (insert a policy priority),&#8217; some really super engaged voters may say yes, but many will not,&#8221; Spanberger said.<\/p>\n<p>Neither Spanberger nor the DCCC returned requests for comment.<\/p>\n<p>Maloney in January became DCCC chairman after he pledged to &#8220;expand&#8221; Democrats&#8217; razor-thin House majority in 2022. Since then, however, Maloney has repeatedly faced criticism from the party&#8217;s centrist wing, which largely consists of endangered members who represent swing districts.<\/p>\n<p>Maloney&#8217;s DCCC staff in April green-lit $5,000 wire transfers from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) to a number of imperiled House Democrats, many of whom returned the money out of fear of being tied to the avowed socialist. Months later, several centrist House Democrats <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2021\/08\/20\/mods-dccc-fundraising-warning-506486\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">accused<\/a> the DCCC of threatening to cut off financial support for their campaigns if they failed to vote for Biden&#8217;s multi-trillion-dollar social spending plan.<\/p>\n<p>Some members of the DCCC&#8217;s &#8220;2022 Frontline Program&#8221;\u2014which aims to &#8220;provide Democratic members of Congress from potentially competitive seats the resources to execute effective reelection campaigns&#8221;\u2014have already bowed out of next year&#8217;s midterm elections. Rep. Ron Kind (Wis.), for example, <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/democrats\/unhappy-ending-wisconsin-dem-tied-to-massage-parlor-wont-run-for-reelection\/\">announced<\/a> in August that he would not run for reelection after the <em>Washington Free Beacon<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/democrats\/ron-kind-rented-property-to-masseuse-suspected-of-prostitution-human-trafficking\/\">revealed<\/a> he rented office space to a Chinese masseuse linked to human trafficking and prostitution.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Democrats Sean Patrick Maloney calls Spanberger&#8217;s Biden criticism &#8216;out of date&#8217;  Rep.
