Can President Joe Biden keep the loyalty of the wealthy, suburban Americans who helped put him in the White House — many of them former Republicans — even when he pushes for tax increases to fund priorities such as infrastructure?
That’s the challenge ahead for the Biden administration, a week after the president detailed a new $2 trillion infrastructure plan he proposed to pay for primarily by raising the corporate tax rate to 28% from 21%.
With former President Donald Trump out of office, some Democrats concede that tax and spend policies could make them begin worrying about their own pocketbooks and reshuffle their political priorities.
“There were a significant number of wealthy voters who held their nose and voted for Democrats last cycle because Joe Biden is a decent man and they couldn’t take anymore of Trump,” said Jason Bresler, a former political director for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. “And this is going to be a challenge to that, no doubt about it.”
So, if you were a Republican that voted for Biden and he does all those things that you were traditionally against then the odds are that you won't be voting for him again or Kamala.
