Sarah Bedford analyzed President Joe Biden’s campaign strategy surrounding the economy.

Bedford, the Washington Examiner’s investigations editor, appeared on Fox Business’s Cavuto: Coast to Coast to share how the public’s perspective on the economy will affect the incumbent’s campaign. While inflation is decreasing, along with unemployment, under the Biden administration, the majority of people believe the economy is doing poorly. Rather than focus on policy, the campaign is working on its messaging, according to Bedford.

“I think that the Biden campaign has had a lot of wishful thinking when it comes to the economy. For one, they’ve treated the economic numbers as a messaging problem, not as a policy problem. They have not really contended with the fears and anxieties many voters have about the affordability of everyday life.”

Biden’s presidency saw record-breaking inflation coupled with high gas prices at the beginning. As the costs began to decline, the administration took credit in press conferences and social media posts.

“They’ve been searching for a branding solution to this, right? Whether it’s ‘Bidenomics’ or whether it’s these graphics about how July 4 is 3 cents less expensive than last year, the reality is that the Biden campaign has not so far had a compelling answer to the questions voters have about their economic futures,” Bedford said. “And again, treating this as a messaging campaign rather than a policy issue, a problem that the White House has here, not presenting any solutions. I think that’s going to continue to be a problem for Biden.”

When it comes to attacks against the largest opponent, former President Donald Trump, the campaign has strayed from attacking him for his economic policies. Instead, the campaign issued a response to Trump’s Truth Social post of a video of a pair of trucks belonging to his supporters. On the back of one truck, there was a life-size image of Biden tied up. The campaign accused Trump of inciting political violence with the post.

The campaign has also adopted Trump’s nickname tactic, referring to its opponent as “Broke Don,” since it is beating him in fundraising. Biden’s $25 million fundraising event last week followed a reported $42 million money grab in January, bringing his total cash reserves to an estimated $156 million.
