Dan Pfeiffer: “Joe Biden’s longest-serving political strategist is a man named Mike Donilon, who has been with the President since 1981. Unlike most political advisors… Donilon rarely speaks to the press and never appears on TV. Therefore, the public rarely has any insight into how he views a campaign.”
“However, he spoke to Evan Osnos for a recent New Yorker profile of Biden and said that the 2024 campaign should center on a ‘Freedom Agenda.’”
“Long-time readers of this newsletter know that this is music to my ears. Like many others, I have long advocated for Democrats to frame our agenda around freedom. This is a great contrast with a GOP that wants to restrict access to abortion, IVF, contraception, books, and marriage equality. Donilon’s freedom agenda ran throughout this speech.”
