Democrats in both the House and Senate have seen a substantial uptick in outreach from the Biden campaign in recent weeks
In interviews with more than a dozen lawmakers and aides, most said they’ve seen a notable shift from just weeks ago, when they described Biden’s attempts to coordinate with Hill Democratspartly to blame: Biden seized the party mantle just as the U.S. shuttered overnight, forcing him into his now-famous basement TV studio.
Then Biden’s team added calls with chiefs of staff over the summer, sometimes multiple times a week, as well as outreach to specific groups like the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, the moderate New Democrat Coalition and state delegations like New York and Michigan. The campaign is also helping to coordinate media appearances for lawmakers advocating for the Biden agenda.
Biden had already been holding calls with some of those groups during the heated primary campaign, vying for congressional endorsements alongside a slew of other presidential contenders. “I don’t know if everybody agreed with him 100 percent, but he was very good about it — much more open than he was previously,” Vargas said, adding that Biden’s wife, Jill, had also participated in calls with lawmakers to talk about policy plans on issues like education.
