President Joe Biden campaigned as a bipartisan deal-maker who had decisively beaten the socialists and police defunders in his own party — and then promptly unveiled a series of proposals more to liberals’ liking that were designed to be passed exclusively with Democratic votes.

Now, as Biden returns to a more bipartisan posture to notch a few wins that don’t require reconciliation in the Senate, it remains to be seen how much goodwill this bought him on the Left. If progressives prove to be more recalcitrant than centrist Sen. Joe Manchin, it could deny Biden additional legislative accomplishments before the summer recess.
