An official for President Joe Biden's 2024 campaign said Sunday that approval ratings would improve ahead of the next presidential election amid concerns about how voters view the current state of the economy and his age.
Cedric Richmond, Biden's campaign co-chair, was asked what he thought about recent polling showing only 37% approve of the president's handling of the economy, against 61% of respondents who disapproved. The poll shows that people are"not happy" with the economy's current state, and Richmond was asked how the Biden administration would carry out its message amid these ratings during his appearance on ABC's This Week.
In addition to concerns about Biden's dropping approval rating, the president has been met with frequent concerns regarding his age, as he will be 81 years old by the time the 2024 presidential election is held. When asked how Biden would handle these criticisms, especially from those in the Republican party, Richmond said the Democratic Party would focus on"the things that Americans are talking about.
"They'll talk about age, and we're gonna talk about the fact that we brought insulin down to $35 a month so that our seniors don't have to choose between medicine and rent or utilities," said Richmond."While they continue to talk about age, we'll continue to talk about the fact that they're not talking about banning assault weapons, while they're banning books, but they're not protecting our children in schools.
Concerns regarding the U.S. economy come as the Biden administration has recently introduced the term"Bidenomics," which is a catchphrase used to represent his economic priorities, as well as a callback to former President Ronald Reagan's"Reaganomics." However, the phrase has failed to gain traction among voters, as only 34% of adults in a poll from earlier this month said the economy is very good or somewhat good.In another poll, a total of 48% of “likely U.S.
Former President Donald Trump, the front-runner for the 2024 Republican primary race, has stated he would create a “bigger and better” economy if reelected. He also defined"Bidenomics" as"inflation, taxation, submission, and failure.”
