Biden Turns to Economic Populism

“President Joe Biden is reemphasizing his focus on an economic populism with a strategy that browbeats big business for not bringing down prices in the face of slowing inflation, an apparent response to voters expressing pessimism about the state of the American economy,” The Messenger reports.

“This messaging, which White House officials and operatives close to Biden said will continue in the weeks and months to come, is reminiscent of the more populist ‘Scranton versus Park Avenue’ pitch Biden successfully made to voters in 2020 and builds on some of the work his administration has done over the course of his nearly three years in office.”
