Biden Goes All In on Bidenomics. Voters Aren’t Buying It

Live Mint  

PHILADELPHIA—President Biden stood at the lectern of a shipyard here with a familiar pitch as he seeks a second White House term: The economy remains strong. “It’s not an accident, it’s my economic plan in action," Biden told a crowd of mostly union workers Thursday at the latest stop on his nationwide record-burnishing tour. Despite the project, Gillmer said many undecided voters in his community don’t believe Biden is responsible for such achievements. “I think he should get credit, but he doesn’t," Gillmer said, while adding that younger Democratic politicians, such as Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, may have more impact on the trail. “I don’t believe my mental health can stand up to another Trump term," said Alvin Collins, a 48-year-old accountant in Chester Springs, Pa. Collins, a Democrat who voted for Biden in 2020, said he supportsthe president’s policies, although they have yet to benefit him directly, and he would prefer a candidate who was “a little more energetic."
