What’s overreach to you? I don’t think they did overreach in 2008-2010 honestly.

Biden will have done his job which is get Trump out. Knowing he isn’t running for re-election he will try to get as much accomplished as possible in a short amount of time.

I’d be satisfied if he did literally nothing - beating Trump is enough for me to be thrilled.

But: replacing the two older liberal judges with much younger ones to secure at least 4 SCOTUS votes for a generation, passing a massive infrastructure bill, forgiving a portion of student loans, raising taxes on rich while cutting them for middle class, adding a public option to ObamaCare, re-enlisting in the Paris accords .... to me that will be enough for him to be a pretty good President.

The Filibuster is gone and Biden will not have to raise the debt ceiling due to any budget proposals will be offset by tax increases on the rich. R obstruction is over. If the Dems would have canceled the filibuster in 2009, Speaker Boehner would not have been. Rs was successful in blocking comprehensive immigration reform

I would hope that Biden, in choosing the Cabinet and other important posts, looks at the political situation more carefully than Obama did.  One example--by putting Janet Napolitano and Kathleen Sebelius in the Cabinet, Democratic governors in AZ and KS were replaced by their Republican lieutenant governors.   Therefore, Biden can't place a Sherrod Brown or Elizabeth Warren on the Cabinet to lose a Senate seat.

I agree with Millennial Moderate in that Biden will have done his job by defeating Trump.  That's all I (and a growing number of voters across the country) care about.  And with a probable 10-15% unemployment situation by Inauguration Day 2021, the demand for a massive infrastructure bill will be too overwhelming for a minority of Senate Republicans to stop.

Right! And in what way did Bill Clinton and his party "overreach" during 1993 and 1994? They did not lift the ban on gays in the military; they did not accomplish any major health care reform.
