WASHINGTON — Since June, President
Joe Biden had been frequently using the term “Bidenomics” in his speeches and conversations related to the economy, a total of 101 times.
However, recent polling indicates that most Americans do not believe Bidenomics has been effective. According to an NBC News poll this month, only 38% of respondents approved of Biden’s handling of the economy.
Surprisingly, the word “Bidenomics” has disappeared from Biden’s recent public comments about the economy. It has not been mentioned in speeches since Nov. 1, when he likened Bidenomics to the “American Dream” during a speech in Minnesota.
The term was notably absent from Biden’s remarks in Colorado and at other recent engagements.
Despite this, the White House and the president’s re-election campaign continue to reference “Bidenomics,” with a recent event in Colorado billed as an opportunity to “highlight how Bidenomics is driving record investments in Congresswoman Lauren Boebert’s district.”
Furthermore, the absence of the word in Biden’s speeches has sparked criticism from some Democratic strategists and Biden allies. “I don’t like it, either,” Rep. James Clyburn, D-S.C., has said.
Notably, Biden’s stance on Bidenomics seems to shift in light of recent events, with a focus on policies and accomplishments rather than a singular term. This change marks a potential shift in the strategy for his re-election campaign. According to presidential historian Douglas Brinkley, “It’s probably a healthy sign that they’re retooling a campaign slogan to showcase what they feel are their administration accomplishments.” Source: NBCNews.com
