But it\u2019s working,\u201d Biden added.<\/p>\n<p>President Ronald Reagan\u2019s \u201cReaganomics\u201d became a household word in the 1980s. The White House is striving to distinguish \u201cBidenomics\u201d as its own plan of rebuilding the economy from the bottom up and the middle out\u2014not the top down\u2014with a focus on the middle class, which Biden sees as America\u2019s backbone.<\/p>\n<p>Kennedy, who has gained support from voters in both parties since announcing his candidacy in April, also has a campaign message that embraces the middle class.<\/p>\n<p>He chastised Trump and Biden for COVID-era business closures that \u201cshifted $4 trillion from the middle class to the super-rich.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe created a billionaire a day during the lockdowns and you know, it was the last breath of the American middle class,\u201d Kennedy told The Epoch Times.<\/p>\n<p>Though critics question whether Kennedy can secure the party\u2019s nomination because of the Democratic National Committee\u2019s backing of Biden, his campaign team said they have two objectives, defeating Biden and winning the general election against the Republican nominee.<\/p>\n<p>While Biden will speak at noon, Kennedy will appear at a NewsNation town hall at 9 p.m. It marks his first town hall with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/experts-to-cbc-freedom-trucker-rallying-cry-a-slippery-concept\/\" title=\"\u2018Experts\u2019 To CBC: \u2018Freedom,\u2019 Trucker Rallying Cry, A \u2018Slippery Concept\u2019\">national news network<\/a>. The audience will include Democrats or independents who are leaning Democratic. Additional audiences will watch the event in New Hampshire and South Carolina. New Hampshire Institute of Politics at Saint Anselm College will help facilitate the live audience. Kennedy has already delivered campaign speeches at the college.<\/p>\n<p style=\"background: white; vertical-align: baseline; margin: 0in 0in .25in 0in;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.0pt; font-family: 'ET Text',serif; color: #2f2f2f;\">Earlier this year, Biden successfully pushed the DNC to shift New Hampshire\u2019s longtime First in the Nation primary status to second behind South Carolina. Because of the move, Biden\u2019s name might not appear on the state\u2019s Democrat primary ballot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background: white; vertical-align: baseline; margin: 0in 0in .25in 0in;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.0pt; font-family: 'ET Text',serif; color: #2f2f2f;\">Republican and Democrat legislators in New Hampshire have said they will not adhere to the schedule change and that a state law prohibits the move. If Biden does not appear on the ballot, that will leave Kennedy and author Marianne Williamson to win the state\u2019s Democrat nomination.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Questions from the town hall audience are likely to address Kennedy\u2019s wide-ranging views that demonstrate why he has attracted interest from conservatives, moderates, progressives, and independents.<\/p>\n<p>Kennedy, the founder of Children\u2019s Health Defense, is vocal about the dangers of the COVID-19 vaccine for some in the population who were coerced to take them, and of vaccines in general. He\u2019s a vocal opponent of the pharmaceutical industry.<\/p>\n<p>When asked about his stance on the Second Amendment, he said, \u201cI believe in the Constitution, and I\u2019m not going to take everybody\u2019s guns away.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe must figure out a way to deal with it, but talking about taking people\u2019s guns away at this point in history is not a solution,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5316291\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/06\/06\/id5316291-GettyImages-1496170180-1200x800.jpg\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><\/noscript><\/figcaption><\/a><br \/>\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/06\/06\/id5316291-GettyImages-1496170180-1200x800.jpg\" alt=\"Democratic Presidential Candidate Robert F.
