According to an Axios report, President Joe Biden and his fellow Democrats have largely stopped using the term “Bidenomics” — it’s just not doing Joe any good to “own” the economy as poll after poll finds Americans are unhappy with it.
From Axios:
For the first time in more than two months, President Biden on Tuesday publicly uttered a word that he and other Democrats have largely abandoned: “Bidenomics.”
Why it matters: Republicans are now using the term — mockingly — far more than Democrats heading into the meat of the presidential campaign, even as the economy has improved under Biden.
The intrigue: After Axios asked the White House why Biden wasn’t saying “Bidenomics” — including in his State of the Union address this month — he used the term at a Tuesday afternoon event in North Carolina…it was the first time he’d done so since Jan. 25.
“Leading economists aren’t making much fun of ‘Bidenomics’ anymore,” he said of his programs to boost the middle class through public spending. “They’re thinking maybe it works!”
But the fact that Democrats have abandoned the term shows it never really landed with voters.
“Bidenomics” mentions by congressional Democrats dropped during the fall and now have nearly disappeared, to less than a dozen a month, Axios reports.
