In a commentary, Adam Garfinkle, a Distinguished Fellow at the RSIS, discussed Joe Biden’s deliberate use of the word “unity” in his Jan 20 inaugural address. Biden had used the word “unity” or a form of it 11 times in his Jan 20 inaugural address. This, he said, is a tactical effort to pre-emptively disarm GOP leaders, rein in the Democratic Left and establish a benign basis from which to recast the optic of US foreign policy initiatives.
