Biden, Sunak and Macron Go Negative

Politico: “Biden’s team is on the attack. And they’re not alone.”

“Embattled leaders on both sides of the Atlantic are resorting to slashing attacks against their opponents, telling voters in dystopian terms about how bad things could get if their challengers win. In France, President Emmanuel Macron has warned that far-right and far-left candidates would inflict “an impoverishment of the country.” Across the channel in Britain, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has mounted a nearly all-negative campaign against the ascendant Labour Party.”

“The three leaders represent different ideologies, cultures and generations. But they have one thing in common: all three are unpopular. Their caustic campaigns match a political atmosphere defined by frustration and fear.”
