And right now, it looks like a strong issue for the Republican.<\/p>\n<p>Jim Kessler, executive vice president for policy for the Democratic think tank Third Way, said that Biden has a positive economic story to tell and time to improve those numbers.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cIf you look at past successful presidential reelections like Reagan, Clinton and Obama, they were all behind on Labor Day the preceding election year, and all used the next six months to change the narrative and build a lead they never gave up. That is the script that Biden is playing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd he has the advantage of knowing who the most likely nominee will be,\u201d Kessler added.<\/p>\n<p>The attacks on Trump show that Biden wants to plant the seeds that Trump\u2019s stewardship of the economy was not strong.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr4_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Biden has leaned into his infrastructure bill, which passed with Republican support and became law, in contrast to Trump efforts that went nowhere. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGuess what? The great real estate builder \u2014 the last guy here \u2014 he didn\u2019t build a damn thing,\u201d Biden said Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Trump is way ahead in GOP primary polls, suggesting the Republican race to pick a challenger to Biden might be over before it begins.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr5_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Trump has an average 38.6 percentage point lead in the RealClearPolitics nationwide GOP primary average, with a more narrow 26 percent lead in the RealClearPolitics average for Iowa.<\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a> election contest between Biden and Trump is expected to be close.<\/p>\n<p>Each won 46 percent support in a recent\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/politics\/elections\/trump-is-top-choice-for-nearly-60-of-gop-voters-wsj-poll-shows-877252b6\">poll from The Wall Street Journal<\/a>. The poll found that when third-party candidates are included, Trump held a 1 percent edge on Biden.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr6_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Making his case on the economy is crucial for Biden, given the general importance of the issue in any presidential election.<\/p>\n<p>He also appears to be following a script of his former boss in setting out the economic contrast early.<\/p>\n<p>Democratic strategist Jamal Simmons compared Biden\u2019s attacks on Trump to the way that former President Obama\u2019s reelection campaign bashed then-candidate Mitt Romney before he was officially the GOP presidential nominee in 2012.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr7_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cIt wasn\u2019t quite this early, but the Obama people leaned into defining Mitt Romney pretty early in 2012, and by the time Romney was free to respond, the die had already been cast,\u201d Simmons said. \u201cSo, it\u2019s smart to define your opponent as early as possible, because the longer you make the case, the deeper voters\u2019 impressions become.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Trump campaign hit back on Biden\u2019s criticism Monday, arguing that Trump passed \u201crecord-setting tax relief for the middle class\u201d and \u201cproduced a booming economic recovery.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCrooked Joe Biden is the destroyer of American jobs and continues to fuel runaway inflation with reckless, big government spending,\u201d said Trump spokesman Steven Cheung.<\/p>\n<p>Kevin Munoz, a spokesman for Biden\u2019s reelection campaign, said it wants to have a debate over Biden\u2019s and Trump\u2019s jobs records.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDonald Trump is the only president since Herbert Hoover to leave office with less net jobs. His empty promises to bring back manufacturing and good jobs were only realized in the United States when President Biden took office. It\u2019s a direct contrast voters know, and a debate we are happy to have,\u201d Munoz said.<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s presidency ended amid the coronavirus pandemic, which wreaked havoc on the economy in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>The White House has also recently stepped up attacks on Republicans in general, with aides bashing Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and other lawmakers on impeachment inquiries and government shutdown threats.<\/p>\n<p>They have consistently brought up Trump ally Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), seeking to tie her to Trump and other Republicans as they argue against giving the GOP more governing power.<\/p>\n<p>The one area the White House doesn\u2019t get into are the indictments of Trump. Doing so could play into GOP arguments that the Department of Justice has been weaponized against Trump and Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>That could change, however, if Trump is convicted before the election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTrump\u2019s legal arguments are their own disaster; there\u2019s no reason for President Biden to wade into that mess,\u201d Simmons said. \u201cIf you\u2019re for Trump, you don\u2019t care. The other 60 percent of Americans I think will have a hard time accepting a presidential candidate with four felony indictments.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2023 Nexstar <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Media<\/a> Inc.
