If the isn’t getting credit for how he’s improved the economy by now, then he won’t get such credit anytime soon.
” message that helped Bill Clinton's campaign win in 1992, if Biden isn’t getting credit for how he’s improved the economy by now, then he won’t get such credit anytime soon.
I say this as a Democrat who supports President Biden and was the press secretary for his wife, Jill Biden, the president needs to reevaluate the approach to how and what he is communicating to the American people. More than that, he needs to make the election about how Republicans have disqualified themselves from leading the country. As part of that strategy, he can do what Republicans have done effectively and use wedge issues to motivate and outrage their own voters.
Unless voters can see more money in their bank accounts or feel more cash in their pockets, an economic message will not make a difference. Elections do not automatically mirror previous ones: What worked in 1992 as a winning message may not necessarily work in 2024. In 2004, the state of Ohio had one of the highest unemployment rates in the country. Republicans, however, placed a statewide referendum on gay marriage, then an ultra divisive values-based issue, on the ballot. Democratic nominee John Kerry lost the state by roughly 100,000 votes; had he won, he would have been President.
If there was ever a cycle that should have replicated the political tsunamis of 1994 or 2010, it would have been 2022, with the country facing. But the midterm elections became a referendum on former president Donald Trump and the party out of power — the party that supported pro-life judges and a repeat electoral loser who selected flawed candidates — instead of a rebuke of Trump's successor and the party in power.
