Biden Admin Moves to Bolster Deep State to Prepare for Trump Win
President Joe Biden’s administration is moving to bolster the bureaucratic deep state in preparation for the likely event that the Democrats will lose control of the White House after the November election.
With the 2024 election season heating up and President Donald Trump showing impressive strength in the polls, the administration is taking steps to make it difficult for Biden’s preferred regulations to be unwound in the event of a Democrat loss.
To that end, the Biden White House is working overtime to implement a host of new rules ahead of November in hopes of thwarting Trump-directed policy reversals.
These steps are particularly focused on boosting the unelected administrative deep state, as Breitbart reports.
As the outlet explains, the “administrative” or “deep state” are terms often used to describe the concept of an unelected — and thus unaccountable — body of bureaucrats installed in federal agencies.
These operatives are able to promulgate the Democrats’ own rules.
Critics suggest that this allows political appointees to use rule-making authority to skirt the separation of powers enshrined in the U.S. Constitution.
The scenario, it is argued, facilitates an entrenchment of ideologically driven government employees who do not have to answer to the citizenry.
Some have seen a surge in recent actions by administrative agencies under the Biden administration as a signal of some potential concern about a Trump win in November.
