intended to run in the primary as a ticket with Elizabeth Warren. Biden always had a lefty streak in him, and the details of Warren’s progressive economic policies pushed throughout Obama’s two terms appealed to him.

‘Most influential voice’: Warren’s network spreads throughout Biden administration
The growing roster of Warren protégés in the government illustrates the leftward shift underway in the Democratic Party's approach to policymaking.

Pssst..no one gets to claim that credit except Joe Biden. Who, by his own very progressive, Left, Moderate, or Center left policies of his long career, was always "left".

Weird to hear those who went hard against 'old gaffer, dementia, Tara Reade, Joe Biden' suddenly climbing over each other to stake their claim for Joe Biden's own personally driven success.

It was ME! It was ME!

Left, center, moderate..whatever label one chooses to apply, the success of President Biden is his own.
Thanks anyway.

The Democratic Party was & is always Left.

EDIT to add:

Oh ya, remember when the "Left claimers" called Joe Biden the same as Trump & declared Joe to be "a bowl of shit.."

We sure do remember that!
