FILE - President Joe Biden greets students at Eliot-Hine Middle School in Washington, Aug. 28, 2023. Biden visited the school, located east of the U.S. Capitol, to mark the District of Columbia's first day of school for the 2023-24 year. Despite a successful off-year election for Democrats, there remains a persistent fear within the party that there is a serious disconnect between the popularity of President Joe Biden's agenda and the man himself.
