President Biden's re-election campaign faces a significant challenge as even Democratic voters express "nostalgia" for the Trump years, according to NPR reporter Asma Khalid. In an appearance on ABC's "This Week," Khalid shared insights from her interviews with voters, revealing a lackluster sense of enthusiasm for Biden's re-election, particularly among key demographic groups that supported his 2020 campaign.
Khalid noted that Republican voters who were disaffected with former President Trump and supported Biden in 2020 are now less likely to back the incumbent president. Furthermore, she reported that even Democratic voters have expressed a sense of "nostalgia" for the Trump years, citing the economy as a primary reason.

Khalid's findings suggest that Biden's strategy of framing the upcoming election as a referendum on Trump may not resonate as strongly as the campaign had hoped. She explained, "To make this a referendum [on Trump], sure, is what the Biden campaign wants, but it is really challenging because many voters are looking at this election as a referendum on [Biden]."
Polls and reports indicate that the Biden campaign has lost support from younger voters, Black voters, and Latino voters, who voted for him in 2020 but now blame the president for the state of the economy. The Biden administration is attempting to court these voters in battleground states through a tour promoting his "Bidenomics" message.
However, fellow "This Week" panelist, Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, argued that people are trying to glamorize the Trump years and are "forgetting" the former president's impact on abortion access, diversity, equity, and inclusion, and student loan relief.
Despite enjoying a temporary polling bump following his State of the Union address in March, Biden now trails Trump again, by 6 points according to a CNN poll released last week. The Biden campaign is facing an uphill battle to convince voters that the upcoming election is a referendum on Donald Trump, given the lukewarm enthusiasm for Biden's re-election and the expressed nostalgia for the Trump years among Democratic voters.
