Summary
Donald Trump has shifted focus away from the economy, despite using inflation as a campaign issue.
With Biden presiding over strong job growth, low unemployment, and easing inflation, Trump faces difficulty critiquing the economy.
Democrats aim to capitalize by framing Trump as responsible for economic challenges and advocating for voter-friendly economic priorities.
Historically, disciplined messaging on pocketbook issues has delivered major midterm victories for both parties.
I have a hard time watching what democrats do to progressives and concluding that they are interested in democracy. Republicans are obviously worse in the way that they govern but at least in the way they run their primary they may be more democratic. They didn’t stop Trump from winning the nomination. Their voters got exactly what they asked for. I haven’t felt that way about a dem primary in almost 20 years.
