 I'm Stacey Lynn at the White House. Politics professor Larry Jacobs isn't so sure this strategy will work. To have the president write an open letter to Congress like this is an invitation for a member to now step forward and disagree. He says it almost seems desperate. Whatever Joe Biden has tried have not worked. And so now we're getting to these almost desperate measures of the president pleading publicly for the support of this party. It comes nearly two weeks post-debate.
