Chris Carney Comments on Biden Easing Into Campaign

Chris Carney was quoted in The Hill article “Biden Eases Into Campaign Mode.” The article examines how President Biden is slowly beginning to make campaign moves.

Commenting for the article, Chris said, “There is no real sense of urgency to begin campaigning in earnest just yet, particularly when the attention on his likely opponent’s multiple legal perils is top-of-mind in the political realm.” Addressing how Biden allies have posited that his campaign advisors are determining how best to highlight Biden’s accomplishments, Chris added, “I think the ‘issue arsenal’ Biden enjoys against his opponents is vast, and his team is deciding how best to deploy it.”

Chris represented Pennsylvania’s 10th Congressional District for two terms and was a tenured professor of political science specializing in international relations at Penn State University. Prior to running for Congress, he worked at the Pentagon for four years on strategic analysis of the global terrorist threat, ran the Department of Defense’s Policy Counterterrorism Evaluation Group (PCTEG) and was the “Special Projects” intelligence officer for two tours during Operation Southern Watch. Chris received a Presidential appointment as a Commissioner on the Military Compensation and Retirement Modernization Commission (MCRMC) and served as a Senior Intelligence Specialist for the National Aviation Intelligence Integration Office (NAI2O).
