I hope you're right. He doesn't have a track record of political courage, but I get the sense he understands himself to be in a position to be a truly transformational President. As I have said before here, I am also very hopeful that he has surrounded himself with very bright political people and he listens to them.

I don't think of Biden's style as non-courageous. He is first a practical across-the-aisle negotiator, which is the natural tussle of a good democracy. Then, if that fails, he has a spine of stee to match the warmth of his heart. Watch.
I guess we'll see. In his career he has done a lot of gauging which way the wind blows before taking a position (see his tone deaf response to bussing, for instance). A politician doesn't last as long as Joe has without a lot of zigging and zagging. But he is in his last job and can afford to be bold and I believe he will be. Needs to be soon, though.

They've got a fight on their hands. Time to get down to the rough stuff.
