You know, I did speak to Barbara Perry about this. She's the director of presidential studies at the University of Virginia's Miller Center, which closely studies the presidency, does these massive oral histories on it. She said this is kind of a familiar spot for a White House to be in about a year into office. And she said in recent history, administrations have typically responded a few different ways. You can change the way you communicate with voters. You can look for legislative wins, even if it means scaling things down - smaller wins - looking for ways to maybe change some staff in some key areas.
