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.
Don’t worry, though. When it turns out that “he, alone, can’t fix it”, he’ll find some other scapegoat. It’s what he does. Nothing bad is ever his fault.
Spoiler alert: it’s going to be immigrants again.
