With the presidential election just over one year away, the Biden Administration faces a challenge: how to convince skeptical voters that the economy is in much better shape than they think. Why Joe Biden is running on the economy:
But while Biden’s team hopes crafting a coherent message around the economy will win over voters, strategists on both sides of the aisle warn it could represent one the President’s biggest vulnerabilities in the race. Mike Lux, a long-time Democratic strategist who has worked as a senior staffer or advisor on six different presidential campaigns, says economic issues are Republicans’ “strongest chance at hurting Biden.
Robert Blizzard, a veteran GOP pollster, says that voters are still concerned that their family’s incomes are falling behind the cost of living, and fears of a possible recession continue to loom large on people’s spending. “I think one of the challenges that this President has in particular is anytime he opens his mouth on anything, he is running the risk of alienating more Americans,” he says. “This strategy has the risk of significant pushback.
For much of Biden’s presidency, his team has tried to defend his economic achievements, including dedicating a significant portion of his State of the Union address in February to highlight his record on job growth and unemployment. As the presidential race begins to take shape, the Administration appears set on intensifying messaging efforts about its economic agenda.
In South Carolina on Thursday, Biden declared that Republican-led states are gaining factory jobs because of economic measures he pushed through Congress despite stiff GOP opposition. He pointed to government investments in computer chips, batteries, and electric vehicles that will help bring manufacturing jobs back to the U.S. “I didn’t get much help from the other team, but that didn’t stop us from getting it done,” Biden said.
Still, Democratic strategists believe the real risk for Biden is avoiding the issue entirely because it’s unpopular. “The economy is on people’s minds,” Lux says. “You can’t avoid the topic. So we need to lean into the fight. We need to make our case. I don’t think we have any choice.”
