Summary

Donald Trump has shifted focus away from the economy, despite using inflation as a campaign issue.

With Biden presiding over strong job growth, low unemployment, and easing inflation, Trump faces difficulty critiquing the economy.

Democrats aim to capitalize by framing Trump as responsible for economic challenges and advocating for voter-friendly economic priorities.

Historically, disciplined messaging on pocketbook issues has delivered major midterm victories for both parties.

    I just can’t care anymore.

    It’s actually proven now, it doesn’t matter.

    No matter how many stories are run about the awful things he does and the good things he doesn’t do, the people who voted for him will love him just the same.

    No matter what he does, no matter how awful, nothing the media prints matters, and our institutions will do nothing to stop him.

    We now just have to hope that he and his supporters don’t decide we are done with elections in four years. We exist at their whim.

    Edit: And might I add - the “opposition party” just ran an election centered around courting voters from Trump’s party instead of their own, and shows no signs of learning from it. (again) We are well and truly fucked.
