The\u200d PCCA advises Biden to engage in high-drama clashes particularly on economic issues, to \u2063resonate with voters in today&#8217;s &#8220;vibes political world,&#8221; as PCCC co-founder Adam Green described it. They suggest Biden should confront Trump with his past statements on cutting Social Security and create a challenging moment by forcing Trump\u2062 to potentially contradict his earlier statements. Further, they recommend highlighting inconsistencies between Trump\u2064 and his potential VP choices, particularly focusing on economic policies like credit card overdraft fees.<\/p>\n<p>Another key advice includes Biden promoting his proactive measures like efforts to curb junk fees and contrasting them with the previous administration&#8217;s policies. The PCCC emphasizes\u200b making a strong case against\u200c the tax policies favored by Trump, advocating for increased corporate taxes, and\u2062 connecting the defense of Social Security \u2062with taxing the wealthy more heavily. This strategy aligns with polling data suggesting \u2063Biden is gaining traction with \u200cvoters on issues like Social Security.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>A progressive group has five recommendations to help President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/joe-biden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Joe Biden <\/a>in the first presidential debate against former President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Donald Trump<\/a> on Thursday. <\/p>\n<p>The Progressive Change Campaign Committee released a memo to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/white-house\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>White House<\/a> urging Biden to challenge Trump onstage with high-drama clashes on economic issues that are top-of-mind for voters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re living in a vibes political world, and therefore the best way to communicate policy to voters is to create a high-drama clash over policy during the debate,\u201d PCCC co-founder Adam Green told the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em> in an interview. \u201cSo that\u2019s what goes viral and spreads online afterward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Green also urged Biden to present Trump with his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2024\/03\/11\/biden-blasts-trump-over-social-security-medicare-cut-ideas.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>past comments<\/a> on matters such as cutting Social Security \u201cand basically ask him if he disagrees with himself, to kind of flummox him and create a suspenseful moment where he\u2019s on defense.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump received scrutiny for telling CNBC in March that \u201cthere is a lot you can do\u201d on entitlements, mentioning the possibility of cuts, but has long held that Medicare and Social Security should be preserved. He quickly clarified he would not \u201cjeopardize\u201d the programs.<\/p>\n<p>Relatedly, PCCC\u2019s memo advises Biden to pit Trump against the views of his possible <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/exclusive-trump-at-rigged-premiere-it-shouldnt-be-allowed-for-mark-zuckerberg-to-privately-finance-election-operations\/\" title=\"Exclusive \u2014 Trump at \u2018Rigged\u2019 Premiere: \u2018It Shouldn\u2019t Be Allowed\u2019 for Mark Zuckerberg to Privately Finance Election Operations\">vice presidential nominees<\/a>, mentioning Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) and his <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/BoldProgressive\/status\/1800918063120085155\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>comments<\/a> on credit card overdraft fees. The former president is reportedly weighing announcing his running mate as soon as this week, though he has largely teased the decision will be revealed at or shortly ahead of the Republican National Convention next month. Scott and other top contenders to join Trump\u2019s ticket will all be in Atlanta, where the debate will take place, in support of Trump.<\/p>\n<p>The third recommendation focuses on Biden articulating a forward-looking vision that starts with contrasting the actions his administration has taken, such as its efforts to curb junk fees, to those of the Trump administration.<\/p>\n<p>An emphasis on taxing the wealthy is another recommendation, particularly in the context of Social Security. Biden has repeatedly slammed Trump over his support for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/janet-yellen-celebrates-controversial-once-in-a-generation-global-minimum-corporate-tax-agreement\/\" title=\"Janet Yellen Celebrates Controversial \u2018Once-In-A-Generation\u2019 Global Minimum Corporate Tax Agreement\">lower tax rates<\/a> to make a populist pitch.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s time to raise the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/prageru-nikki-haley-explains-why-capitalism-wins\/\" title=\"PragerU: Nikki Haley Explains Why \u2018Capitalism Wins\u2019\">corporate tax<\/a>, minimum tax, to at least 21% so every <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-makes-populist-tax-pitch-in-scranton-while-attacking-trump-over-billionaire-friendliness\/\" title=\"Biden champions populist tax plan in Scranton, criticizes Trump's ties to billionaires\">big corporation finally<\/a> has to pay their fair share,\u201d Biden said during a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/2967683\/biden-populist-tax-pitch-scranton-attacking-trump-billionaire-friendliness\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>campaign stop<\/a> in Scranton, Pennsylvania, in April. \u201cBut, you know, Trump and his MAGA friends want to get rid of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/senate-gop-rejects-biden-infrastructure-plan-preps-new-offer\/\" title=\"Senate GOP Rejects Biden Infrastructure Plan, Preps New Offer\">corporate minimum tax<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Recent polling from the PCCC and Data Progress showed that Biden is \u201cbreaking through\u201d with voters on protecting Social Security, citing a 10-point shift from September 2023 to May.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cOur extra recommendation is to always tie Social Security to taxing rich people,\u201d Green said. \u201cAnd the formulation that we recommended, and the White House adopted in the State of the Union, was \u2018Donald Trump and Republicans want to cut Social Security in order to give tax cuts to billionaires. We will ask the wealthy to pay their fair share and protect Social Security.\u2019 And what that does is it actually gives Donald Trump no way of even pretending to match the Democratic position, because he will never support raising even one penny of taxes on billionaires.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The last recommendation advises Biden to discuss issues on a micro level, rather than citing high-level statistics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBlack voters, Latino voters, young voters, a lot of them at their core are just not happy with the system in general and are willing to take it out on the incumbent president, specifically, one who has been there for a while,\u201d Green said. \u201cAll that changes if Trump is positioned as being in the pocket of billionaires and big corporations that want to rip people off.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The debate is expected to cover the economy, abortion, Trump\u2019s New York conviction, Hunter Biden\u2019s conviction, the Israel-Hamas war, and Ukraine\u2019s fight against Russia. All of these topics will be a chance for both candidates to draw a contrast to the other.<\/p>\n<p>The Trump campaign has sought to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/3059008\/trump-campaign-sets-bar-higher-biden-first-debate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>raise expectations for Biden<\/a> ahead of the debate, fearing a repeat of his State of the Union speech, in which he received praise for an energetic performance.
