Biden Wants More Love For “Bidenomics.”
“The White House is taking full credit for the economy this week ahead of a major speech by President Joe Biden to tout “Bidenomics.”
The speech on Wednesday in Chicago, which is timed to coincide with a 2024 campaign fundraising trip, comes as the administration tries to deal with an apparent disconnect between public perceptions about the economy and actual economic conditions.
“What I would say is that the president’s economic policies are incredibly popular,” Olivia Dalton, the White House’s principal deputy press secretary, said Tuesday. “When you ask people what they think about investing in our roads, bridges and airports, when you ask people what they think about educating and empowering workers, when you ask people about how they feel about reshoring manufacturing jobs and investing in America, those things are incredibly popular.””
The President is trying to spread the message of his positive economy that he helped form in the days and months and now years after the pandemic ended. The general public, however, does not have a rosy picture of the economy despite the fact most economists say we are in great shape. The disconnect between perceptions and reality is what Biden hopes to bridge in the minds of the general public well before the 2024 election. Inflation remains a sticking point and everyone notices the grocery store staples, to name one example, cost a lot more leaving a sinking feeling in the minds of the average American.
