Tiana Lowe Doescher of the Washington Examiner predicts persistent inflation before the upcoming election.
Tiana Lowe Doescher: Inflation Remains a Concern for Voters
Tiana Lowe Doescher firmly believes that inflation will continue to be a pressing issue for voters in the United States, despite the upcoming election being more than a year away.
As a commentary writer for the Washington Examiner, Doescher was recently interviewed about claims made by White House officials regarding the gradual decrease in inflation over the past year. These officials believe that this trend will work in favor of President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign in 2024. However, Doescher strongly disagrees, stating, “Absolutely not, because inflation is compounding.”
“Let’s say we get an incredible PCE report out this week, and that core number, you know, comes close to halves and returns to that 2% benchmark that Powell has reiterated will remain the benchmark,” Doescher explained. “Even so, prices have still increased by 16% in the past two years. Did anyone get a 16% raise in that time? Historically speaking, no.”
Doescher emphasizes that inflation is not a temporary issue and cannot be resolved simply by raising wages.
Biden’s Attempt to Promote “Bidenomics”
President Biden, who is seeking reelection in 2024, has been trying to promote the term ”Bidenomics” to highlight the gradual decrease in inflation under his administration. However, this term has not gained significant traction among voters. In fact, a recent poll revealed that 70% of voters do not believe their work income has kept up with inflation.
Furthermore, the poll indicated that 65% of respondents rated the U.S. economy as “bad,” while only 29% considered it “good.”

Views from Other Political Figures
Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) expressed his belief that the current state of the economy is far from its strongest potential. However, he continues to pledge his support to President Biden for the 2024 election. Sanders suggests that Biden should embrace a progressive message to gain support.
Former President Donald Trump, the leading contender for the 2024 Republican primary race, has promised to create a “bigger and better” economy if reelected. Trump has also defined “Bidenomics” as “inflation, taxation, submission, and failure.”
