Many voters are still unconvinced, despite recent claims from Joe Biden, about the health of the American economy under his administration, and according to Bob Cusack of The Hill, the president's re-election campaign is doomed to failure unless a change comes about in the relatively near future. Our dear friend Cusack, the editor-in-chief of The Hill, recently appeared on America Reports where he expressed his take on the situation. According to Cusack, there comes a point when the rhetoric must match reality in order for Biden to succeed in his re-election bid. And right now, the numbers just aren’t adding up.
Only 24% of the population perceives the economy positively, with a staggering 76% considering it in a state of decline.
That’s “Bidenomics” for you!!!https://t.co/QY3cgzcxYH

Cusack notes that at the beginning of the summer, the White House released a statement proclaiming the success of “Bidenomics,” but people simply don’t believe it. And rightfully so! I mean, have you seen the rising gas prices and the soaring inflation? So, if these economic numbers don’t improve, Cusack boldly states that Biden can kiss his second term goodbye.
But that doesn’t stop Biden from going on a victory lap, touting the benefits of his Inflation Reduction Act. According to ABC News, Biden claims that this legislation is one of the “most significant laws” ever enacted. Well, buddy, I think the American people would beg to differ. Inflation is at a four-decade high, real wages are down, and gas prices are up. Looks like Biden’s version of “winning” comes with a heavy price tag.
While Republicans like House Speaker Kevin McCarthy have been pointing out the failures of the Biden economy, Cusack suggests that they’ve been a bit slow in the game. Come on, guys, pick up the pace! The campaign season is in full swing, and it’s time to ask Americans that age-old question: “Are you better off today than you were four years ago?” Trust me, most voters would respond with a resounding “NO!”
Recent polls show that a majority of voters are dissatisfied with Biden’s handling of the economy and his approach to inflation. So, it’s high time that Republicans start capitalizing on these sentiments and unleash a wave of effective critiques. Come on, GOP, don’t miss this golden opportunity to expose the flaws in Biden’s economic record. The American people deserve better than this.
