Harris Can’t Unburden Herself of the Biden Economy
Kamala Harris appears to have realized that she cannot shrug off the albatross of the Biden-Harris administration’s economic record and must instead defend it.
In her interview yesterday with CNN’s Dana Bash, Harris touted the administration’s jobs records, its legislative achievements, and even took credit for falling inflation. She was not asked, of course, what the administration had done that reduced inflation.
The burden of the Biden-Harris record is heavy. Fifty-two percent of the public say they disapprove of Biden’s job performance when it comes to economic issues, including 40 percent who strongly disapprove, according to the latest polling by YouGov for the Economist. The approving caucus amounts to just 39 percent of registered voters, with a mere 19 percent strongly approving.
