David Brooks: The Second Phase of the Biden Presidency

From a New York Times column by David Brooks headlined “The Second Phase of the Biden Presidency”:

What is the Biden administration for?

If you had asked me that question in 2021, I would have said the Biden administration’s chief purpose is to narrow the economic chasm. America is bitterly divided between highly educated people who live in places that are thriving and less educated people who live in places that are left behind. That economic and social divide threatens our politics, our shared prosperity and the nation’s social fabric.
