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.
As long as the Dems keep glossing over the worsening K-shaped economy, and talking past the pain that the majority of middle-America is feeling - they’re going to continue to lose the working class to apathy and the GOP.
It doesn’t matter if wages nationally ‘went up” $1b, if it all went to like 3 people, and everyone else’s wages stagnated or went down.
