Democrats host convention in Rock Springs: 'Wyoming is counting on us whether they know it or not' - Wyoming Tribune

WASHINGTON, DC This morning, House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer (MD) joined The Sunday Show With Jonathan Capehart on MSNBC to discuss House Democrats efforts to address gun violence and ongoing conversations around legislation to protect the families of Supreme Court Justices and Supreme Court employees. Below are excerpts from his interview and a link to the video:Clickhereto watch the full interview.On House Democrats Work to End Gun Violence

As the American people know, the past history does not give one much confidence that the United States Senate is going to address legislation. We sent them, as you know, last year, and in the years before that, legislation for comprehensive background checks. 85%to 90% of the American people think that it makes sense to make sure that terrorists are not getting guns, domestic abusers are not getting guns, butthe Senate has done nothing.And the Senate has done nothing because Republicans continue to block consideration of that legislation and I say facetiously, but I think realistically, [that] the NRA stands for No Republican Action on almost anything that we put forward So it is evident that there is a very, very large number of Republicans who do not believe that they should be taking any action.

I have some hope that because [Senator] John Cornyn, who I think is a straightforward member, and wants to do something, thats what he said on the Senate Floor last Thursday. Senator Murphy, from Connecticut, which saw such a tragedy and loss of life of children and teachers, as Uvalde did. They are working at it. I think they are both sincere in wanting to do something. I talked to John Cornyn on Thursday, and I think he and Chris Murphy are trying to get to some place but the question is can you get to ten Republicans? Can you get ten Republicans to respond to the overwhelming plea of the American people? 75, 80, 90% of the American people say, do something to stop this carnage, this killing of our children, of our teachers, of people because of the color of their skin?... So I would like to think that there is some hope, and we need to keep hope, because lack of action is not an option. As you know, and as I think the public knows, we are alone in the world. There is nobody close to us in terms of the gun carnage that happens on our streets, and in our places of worship, and in our schools, and our grocery stores, entertainment venues, every day.

On Legislation to Protect the Families of Supreme Court Justices and Supreme Court Employees

We want to give the Justices more support and make sure they are safe. Let me say this, as the Congress is an institution of the government, the Supreme Court is an institution, as the Executive is. If our democracy is to survive as a nation of laws, we have to ensure the safety of the Justices, the clerks, the officers, the employees,and their familiesIm going to put a bill on the Floor. The only disagreement seems to be whether or not employees, at the discretion of the Supreme Court security officials, that is very important, if the employees who are perceived by the authorities at the Supreme Court in charge of security are deemed to be at risk, they can extend protection to them as well. Thats the only distinction Im very hopefulthat will be out early next week.

Hopefully all Republicans will say yes, we want to protect the Supreme Court justicesbut we do want to add employees, and we do want to add the family of all of those folks so that the Supreme Court as an institution is protected, and as individuals are protected. Why? Because that is part of our democracy. We are a nation of laws, not of violence against those who would give their opinions we agree with some opinions from the Supreme Court and we don't agree with others, but violence is not the option.

Hoyer Discusses Democrats' Commitment to Preventing Gun Violence and Legislation to Protect the Families of Supreme Court Justices and Employees on...

Democrats are growing increasingly frustrated by what they say is a flat-footed White House that is slow to catch up on solving a seemingly never-ending cascade of problems in the face of an unrelenting news cycle.

They point to the recent baby formula shortage as the latest example of how President Biden has failed to get ahead of the story, allowing Republicans to set the narrative as yet another failure for the White House. But they also highlighted Bidens lag on other issues at the top of voters minds: inflation and gas prices.

Democrats were also miffed when the White House was caught off guard when a federal judge in Florida lifted the mask mandate on airlines in April and also when a leaked draft of the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade was made public, even though both were events that surprised Washington more broadly not just the White House.

Its really simple: Be the fing president!, said one Democratic strategist frustrated by the administration. I realize its tough and youre drinking out of a fire hose every single day, but there are things you can do to control the public perception and they havent done any of that.

Democratic strategist Christy Setzer said the White House has shown some naivete in recent months in trying to control the message.

It may come down to not understanding what theyre up against both the media environment and todays GOP, Setzer said. Biden did speak out on guns, on baby formula, on inflation but the traditional tactics arent breaking through, and it doesnt seem as though theyre taking in that information, re-trenching, and trying new approaches when its falling flat.

The White House routinely defends Biden and the administrations response to the baby formula shortage, highlighting his invoking of the Defense Production Act to have baby formula flown into the U.S. at least five times in recent weeks.

The President has led with urgency and solutions needed to deliver for American families due to Abbotts recall,a White House official said.

Speaking to reporters during a briefing last week, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre acknowledged that Biden is juggling multiple crises at one time.

Bidens polling numbers began to fall last August, around the time he withdrew the last military forces out of Afghanistan after 20 years of war. The chaotic and deadly U.S. exit, marked by the Talibans swift and sudden takeover of Kabul, was labeled by both Democrats and Republicans as poorly executed. It was compounded by a terrorist bombing that took the lives of 13 American service members.

Biden hasnt recovered since.

Most polls have Bidens approval rating stuck in the low 40s. A Reuters-Ipsos poll released last week showed that Bidens approval rating had jumped up 6 points to 42 percent from a record low the previous week.

After Biden delivered his prime-time address calling for congressional action on an assault weapons ban and other reforms following the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, Democrats who praised the tone and tenor of the speech criticized the timing.

It should have been done sooner, one strategist said. It felt like it was too late by the time hed delivered the speech. The moment was already passing.

Biden did deliver a speech the night of the shooting after returning from the White House from a multiday trip to Asia, but it was less focused on pushing for specific legislative actions and more about pleading with the public to find an end to mass shootings devastating the country.

The Biden White House is no stranger to crises. The president came into office with the primary goal of fighting the COVID-19 pandemic, a response that has broadly been commended by health experts, particularly when it came to effectively distributing the vaccine to the general public.

Larry Gostin, a public health law professor at Georgetown University, said the White Houses recent hiring of Ashish Jha as Bidens new COVID-19 coordinator was a really smart move and credited him with his ability to speak to the public.

But other problems have piled up on Bidens desk since his first day in office, many of them as difficult as inflation and gun violence, over which the president has limited control.

The nationwide baby formula shortage stemming from the February closure of an Abbott Nutrition factory is the latest acute crisis to test the White House. In response, Biden has invoked the Defense Production Act to boost domestic production of formula and authorize military flights to transport formula from overseas.

But Biden himself took attention off those moves when he acknowledged last week in an exchange with reporters that he wasnt aware of the severity of the baby formula shortage until early April weeks after the Abbott plant in Michigan was shuttered due to safety concerns and after Americans were already facing empty store shelves.

My jaw really dropped, said William Galston, chairman of the governance studies program at the Brookings Institution. It was someones job to warn him, and not some low-level flunky.

The first Democratic strategist said Bidens admission that he only found out about the baby formula shortage in April seems like bad staff work.

You should be able to see whats coming down the pike, the strategist said.

Still, the White House highlights that officials at the Food and Drug Administration and elsewhere have been working since the plant closed in February to address the issue.

A memo released by the White House earlier this week showed that in-stock rates for formula started to decline in early March from about 90 percent and now stand at about 74 percent. The memo also said infant formula sales have actually increased this year compared to last year, rising about 24 percent than average sales in 2021.

The administration, however, has garnered some praise, particularly for its handling of Russias war in Ukraine, the way in which officials have used intelligence, and the fact that Biden has unified allies behind a common approach to punishing the Kremlin.

Galston, a former domestic policy aide in the Clinton White House, noted that the Biden administration has been consistently ahead of the curve when it comes to the conflict in Ukraine, something he said has served Biden well.

Part of competence and good management is setting up a system that to the greatest extent possible its never perfect to the greatest extent possible enables you to get ahead of events, Galston said. The name of the game is to avoid unforced errors.

The first Democratic strategist suggested Biden needs to stop trying to put out 20 fires.

Pick four or five and do them really well, the strategist said. Dive in on baby formula, dive in on gas prices.

To be sure, the White House is trying to get ahead of other challenges, including the impending Supreme Court ruling expected to overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark ruling that said abortion rights were protected by the Constitution.

The White House has been holding listening sessions with state lawmakers, advocacy organizations and other stakeholders to better understand abortion laws on the ground ahead of the decision, which is expected later this month.

And in a sign that the baby formula shortage is likely to ease, Abbott reopened its plant in Michigan over the weekend.

Rodell Mollineau, the Democratic strategist who served as an aide to the late Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, said there arent quick fix solutions to many of the issues Biden faces.

But Mollineau said Biden should be doing what he does best to help drive his message. Mollineau advised that Biden should be hitting the road more to speak directly to the public, something the president has tried to do more of since the start of the year.

The more hes out there, the more hes talking to people, the more hes visiting real Americans and sharing in their pain and frustration and being Scranton Joe, the better off it is, Mollineau said. Itll remind people again why they voted for him in the first place. It plays to his strengths.

Democrats frustrated by flat-footed White House - The Hill

It was hard to get the band back together, said Adam Eisgrau, a Feinstein staff aide who helped draft the ban.

One of the things we were able to do in 94 was to create consensus against the Rambo-ification of what would otherwise be a standard hunting gun, he said. At the time, law enforcement was feeling totally outgunned. And we let people know that we didnt think all guns were evil or that people who use guns are evil. But by 2004, things had changed, positions had hardened.

In the end, Ms. Feinsteins attempts to ram through a bill to reauthorize the ban failed. Over the next four years, the senator and several other legislators, including Representative Carolyn McCarthy, a New York Democrat whose son and husband were shot on a commuter train, introduced similar measures. None got out of committee.

Democratic candidates, like President Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and Mr. Biden, have put renewing the ban on their presidential to-do lists. But Democrats, even when they controlled the White House, the Senate and the House from 2009 to 2011, did not act.

The sense of urgency that impelled action in 1994 began to intensify in 2012 with the increasing frequency and human toll of mass shootings facilitated, in most cases, by weapons that were once banned Sandy Hook, Aurora, Orlando, Sutherland Springs, Las Vegas, Pittsburgh, Parkland, El Paso, Boulder, Buffalo, Uvalde and many others that have attracted less media attention.

A few years ago, the family of the inventor of the AR-15 said he would have been horrified to know that its design was being used to slaughter children and other innocent lives instead of being used as a military weapon on the battlefields, Mr. Biden said last week during a prime-time address on gun violence, proposing a new ban.

A few days later, Senator John Cornyn, a Texas Republican responsible for negotiating new gun measures for his party, rejected a renewal of the ban in any form.

Democrats Failed to Extend Assault Weapons Ban in 2004. They Regret It. - The New York Times

The party-switchers are just a small portion of the overall electorate. Even if all 3,600 former Democrats planned to vote for Coram, they would make up less than 1 percent of registered voters. For comparison, Boebert won her first primary by nearly 10,000 votes in 2020.

But the former Democrats aren't the only factor. Theyll be joining a population of nearly a quarter-million unaffiliated voters in the district, all of whom are free to vote in either the Democratic or Republican Primary.

The national attention on Boeberts race could help to draw some of those hundreds of thousands of votes into the contest and the outcome may well depend on whom they support.

For unaffiliated voters who really are neutral between the parties, and there are some of those, they may simply decide the Republican Party is the more interesting contest right now, said Masket, professor of political science and the director of the Center on American Politics at the University of Denver. For primaries that is something that could have an effect.

Boebert has grabbed nationwide attention over the last two years for carrying guns, making viral Twitter posts and heckling President Joe Biden over the deaths of service members in Afghanistan during the State of the Union.

That high profile has helped bring in donations and won the loyalty of many in the districts Republican base. But Coram is counting on a folksy centrist message to win over those unaffiliated voters.

They are unaffiliated because they are sick and tired of the antics of the far right, and the far left, he said in an interview. His campaign stressed that he is focused on winning over undecided voters, not convincing Democrats to meddle in the primary.

In some ways, Coram is an ideal candidate, given his political experience and party connections, Masket said. But he added the candidate hasnt stacked up the kinds of money and endorsements that often push challengers to victory.
