Biden Urged to Shift Focus, Attack Trump Ahead of 2024 Election

Several top Democrats are urging President Biden to alter his strategy ahead of the 2024 election and spend more time attacking former President Trump instead of touting his own policy record.

President Biden is facing pressure from within his own party to adjust his campaign strategy ahead of the 2024 election, with several top Democrats urging him to focus less on promoting his own policies and more on criticizing former President Donald Trump.

According to sources close to the White House, the concern among Democrats is that Biden's policy achievements are not resonating or swaying voters. They believe that Biden needs to shift his focus to attacking Trump, as his policies may further exacerbate inflation and harm middle-class families.

One major donor told CNN, "He wants the credit, but it’s not working. He needs to stop."

The advice from party insiders seems to have been partially accepted by the Biden campaign, as a newly released ad ahead of the upcoming CNN Presidential Debate suggests that Trump has done little to help middle-class families.

The commercial, which is part of a $50 million paid media campaign, is targeted at battleground voters and highlights Trump's alleged lack of focus on the middle class.

According to a recent Fox News poll, one-third of voters said the economy is in excellent or good shape, the highest approval rating during Biden's presidency. However, a majority (56%) remain pessimistic about the economy, and four in ten say they are falling behind financially.

Despite the slightly improving economic sentiment, Republicans are still leading on both economic concerns and overall approval ratings. A May ABC News/Ipsos poll found that over 80% of respondents believe the economy and inflation are important issues, with Trump holding a 14-point lead over Biden on both concerns.

As the first presidential debate of the 2024 election approaches, Biden's advisers are urging him to change his strategy and focus on attacking Trump's policies and relationship with corporate America. They believe that this shift will help Biden connect with voters and potentially improve his chances of reelection.
