White House Slammed for Defending Biden’s Economic Record as ‘Incredibly Popular’

(Corine Gatti, Headline USA) White House second-string press secretary Olivia Dalton had a rough time convincing a public reeling from high inflation, closed businesses and empty wallets that President Joe Biden’s economic policies are “incredibly popular”.

When Dalton tried promoting a positive public reception to the president’s “Bidenomics” platform for his 2024 re-election campaign, journalists challenged how that theme would influence public perception given the president’s low approval ratings on economic matters, Fox News Digital reported.

“When you ask people what they think about educating and empowering workers, when you ask people about how they feel about reshoring, manufacturing jobs and investing in America, those things are incredibly popular,” Dalton claimed.

The comments were made despite recent polling that showed only 33% of people approved of Biden’s leadership of the U.S. economy, and a mere 24% said that national economic conditions were in good shape, according to a survey by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs.

The assertion that Biden’s economy was popular received a predictable backlash from a public crippled by “Bidenomics.”

Podcaster Mitch Roschelle tweeted, “Government spending on infrastructure projects that haven’t happened are NOT popular and how exactly does this help the middle class when we already have a shortage of construction workers?”

The House Oversight Committee, which has been uncovering mounds of evidence pointing to the Biden family’s ongoing, alleged criminal empire, couldn’t resist offering its own definition of “Bidenomics.”

A USA TODAY/Suffolk Poll found over half of Americans believed that living in the United States was too expensive. Furthermore, a new Pew Center survey showed approximately 70% of Americans feel that inflation and economic issues are the country’s most pressing concerns under the Biden regime.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., offered his own definition of Bidenomics, tweeting a graphic calling it “bling faith in government spending and regulations.”

McCarthy’s definition concluded, “It’s an economic disaster where government causes decades-high inflation, high gas prices, lower paychecks, and crippling uncertainty
that leaves Americans worse off.”
