James Carville, the political guru who burst into notoriety while helping steer Bill Clinton to the presidency in 1992, once famously declared, “It’s the economy, stupid” as he led Clinton to victory over President George H.W. Bush.
I believe President Biden would do well to resurrect a portion of Carville’s winning mantra.
It’s still “the economy, stupid” as Joe Biden campaigns for re-election in 2024.
The numbers hold up well under careful examination.
Joblessness is near historic lows; we are creating more jobs each month than any time in our history; inflation is receding; our national budget deficit has been slashed.
Mr. President, you are entitled to gloat just a bit, reminding us that “Bidenomics is working!”
It is the economy, and it is a good economy.
