The Biden campaign will tackle a Trump re-enactment
Biden, the Democratic Party, the New Metro Coalition, and Left and Right: a wake from a bottom up view of the mainstream media
Biden’s basic problem is that the Democratic Party keeps shrinking, leaving it with a drastically slender margin of error. It’s losing working class voters — whites — by enormous, 30-point margins — but nonwhites without college degrees are slipping away too.
The political scientist at Harvard warned that there are consequences if Biden’s support is weakened. In an email, Enos wrote:
Conservative media have focused heavily on the critique and have evidence that shows how media framing shapes how voters see the parties. The role of the media in shaping the current climate should not be overlooked. The obsessions of right-wing media with the “wokeness” of the Democratic Party seeps into the broader media coverage, and mainstream sources focus on criticisms of the Democrats, in part to uphold their nonpartisan ideal.
Democrats have not changed their orientation nearly as much as critics of the party argue. The party has not changed its economic positions as a result of social/identity issues or its emphasis on economic issues. Instead, it placed a priority on a bigger economic program with a wider range of policy aims and instruments than it has done before, as well as levels of public spending that dwarf those contemplated.
Hacker said in a forthcoming paper that they found that the Democratic New Metro Coalition and the unexpected distribution of funds caused them to write the paper.
Hacker believes that the view of Biden and the Democratic Party as weak on their past strengths doesn’t jive with the way things used to be. The unflattering portrait of the Democrats created by right-wing media and the mainstream media, is a major success.
have been aiming at the wrong target and have less than a year to adjust their sights. That means putting high prices and living costs front and center, embracing cultural pragmatism, confronting left-wing radicalism on the border, public safety and Israel and embracing a post-populist economics that speaks to working Americans aspirations for growth and upward mobility rather than their presumed sense of economic victimhood.
Even as the Democrats’ base grew smaller, they pushed them far to the left. Young progressives have identified the party with stances on immigration, crime, gender, climate change and Palestinian resistance that are so far from mainstream sentiment that they can even eclipse MAGA extremism.
Will Marshall, president and founder of the center-left Public Policy Institute think tank, responded to my query with an emailed question: “Trump is Kryptonite for American democracy, so why isn’t President Biden leading him by 15 points?”
These are issues that divide our active, progressive base. Being silent on these issues is like admitting guilt to voters. You do not care about their real concerns, that is what they think. That means Biden must accept some griping from the left to get this story out to the vast middle.
Kessler argues that Biden has a decent record on cracking down on crime but the administration doesn’t promote it.
Biden didn’t raise his hand on the question about wanting open borders, which could be seen as wanting open borders. He never disappeared from the 1994 crime bill that he authored in the Senate and loudly voiced his opposition to defund the police.
Biden won in 2020 because he was perceived as having a more positive brand than the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party now has a brand advantage. Exhibits A and B are crime and immigration. In 2020, Biden was perceived as tougher on crime and the border than the typical Democrat.
A Conversation with Biden about the First Four Years of the U.S. Presidential Reconstruction and the Rise of Weak Inflation in 2024
The national average for a gallon of gasoline has fallen by 20 cents. Headline and core inflation have begun their final descent toward benign, historic levels. Interest rates have fallen about 40 basis points in the past several months. The so-called “misery index” (inflation + unemployment rate) could very well be at a level that is incumbent friendly.
But at the same time, we have an obligation to talk to American voters about what President Biden and Vice President Harris have done for them in the record of accomplishments which we feel are plentiful.
There is both foreign policy and economic activity going on at the same time. We need a leader that has done that before.
The president will continue to do everything he can to make life easier and more affordable for them and he will double down in earning their support. The Republican Party puts forward what they think is best, whether that’s Donald Trump or not. It’s also on the economic front.
Voters are dissatisfied with how President Biden has handled the economy in the last four years despite the fact that many people in the United States are doing well. What is your message to people who don’t like Biden’s track record?
There is a referendum on the way Donald Trump handled the economy in the 2020 election, and that’s why you say this is a campaign of contrasts.
Now we’re in 2024. Donald Trump has bragged about whipping away women’s rights, so our campaign could show that he wouldn’t be the same if he were to regain power.
Biden’s principal deputy campaign manager, Quentin Fulks, spoke to All Things Considered host Ari Shapiro on Wednesday to discuss the campaign’s strategy for Trump and how they plan to win over voters once again.
Biden made a few remarks to donors that have made a difference. Tuesday he was in the Boston area and said, “If Trump wasn’t running, I’m not sure I’d be running.”
It was because of the threat that Donald Trump posed to our democracy and quite literally the very fabric of our country that the president promised to rebuild and restore the soul of this nation.
You know, Ari, it is a bit disappointing that we’re having this discussion when Donald Trump promised that he would rule as a dictator on Day 1.
So if anything, I think that the president’s comments were timely, as they underscore exactly what he’s talking about, and the threat that, we need to keep America moving forward and not turn it over to somebody who’s promising to be a dictator.

Our campaign does not take any voters for granted, and we have to do everything we need to do to communicate with voters, in a very fractured media environment, to talk to voters about what matters to them.
At the end of the day, if it is a referendum between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, we are confident that American voters will turn out and vote for Joe Biden. We’ve seen that in the year 2020. We saw it in 2022. This year we’ve seen it.
Shapiro: But as you think of the campaign strategy, you could be focused on motivating the base. You could be spending your time focused on access to the ballot. You could be focused on winning over voters who are undecided.
I have a feeling you’re going to say, “We’re taking a both and all-of-the-above approach.” If it’s a Biden-Trump matchup, do you believe there actually are undecided voters out there in large enough numbers to make a difference?

Why Donald Trump didn’t do anything to help during the 20th Century was a global pandemic that Donald Trump had absolutely no intention of helping
This is not a monolithic audience as a people. Whether you label it African American voters, women, or young voters, they are not all lumped into one category.
And so in 2020, there was a global pandemic that Donald Trump quite literally had done nothing to help, that cost the lives of a lot of Americans and, quite frankly, people around the world.
