A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/leaked-confidential-desantis-campaign-memo-details-his-new-strategy-to-catch-donald-trump\/\" title=\"Leaked memo reveals DeSantis' secret plan to capture Trump.\">campaign memo obtained<\/a> by \u200dReuters\u2064 indicates the \u2063topics Biden prefers to discuss and avoid. Biden aims to highlight\u200c his administration&#8217;s success in job creation, citing growth and his \u200deconomic policies referred \u2063to as &#8220;Bidenomics,&#8221; despite skepticism about the authenticity of job numbers \u200dby some critics\u2062 like the\u200b Heritage\u2063 Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>Conversely, Biden intends to steer clear\u2062 of issues related to Israel and Gaza. His handling of the conflict following Hamas&#8217;s attack \u200con Israel has been controversial. Criticism comes \u2063from various sides, with some on \u2064the left accusing him of participating in genocide, while\u2062 centrists and Jewish Democrats believe he has not supported\u2063 Israel adequately.<\/p>\n<p>This strategic\u200b choice \u200dof topics reflects\u200c Biden&#8217;s campaign efforts to focus\u200c on areas\u2063 where he believes \u200che has strong footing,\u2063 especially the domestic economic \u2062achievements, while avoiding more divisive international issues.  <\/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>President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/joe-biden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Joe Biden\u2019s\">Joe Biden\u2019s<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cook-political-report-shifts-eight-governors-races-toward-gop\/\" title=\"Cook Political Report Shifts Eight Governor\u2019s Races Toward GOP\">high-stakes rematch<\/a> with former President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Joe Biden\u2019s\">Donald Trump<\/a> is coming up, and both want the debate to go a certain way.<\/p>\n<p>A campaign memo <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/us\/biden-wants-talk-abortion-trump-immigration-cnn-debate-2024-05-31\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>obtained by<\/a> <em>Reuters<\/em> last month gave hints into what topics Biden would like to discuss. Public statements and rhetoric from the Biden administration give additional insight into how the president believes he can be successful.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the topics that Biden would like to discuss and then avoid during the debate.<\/p>\n<h3>Discuss: Employment<\/h3>\n<p>The Biden administration has repeatedly touted the country\u2019s growing number of jobs, claiming sometimes record-breaking job reports. Following April\u2019s job report, Biden hailed that \u201cthe great American comeback continues.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I took office, I inherited an economy on the brink, with the worst economic crisis in a century. I had a plan to turn our country around and build our economy from the middle out and the bottom up. Now we are seeing that plan in action,\u201d Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/statements-releases\/2024\/05\/03\/statement-from-president-joe-biden-on-the-april-jobs-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>said<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>A Heritage Foundation <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heritage.org\/jobs-and-labor\/commentary\/bidens-job-growth-disappearing-act\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>analysis<\/a> cast heavy doubt on the numbers, however, finding that 1-in-4 of the jobs supposedly added to the economy in 2023, about 800,000 total, don\u2019t actually exist. <\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, Biden has pitched \u201cBidenomics\u201d in campaign rallies and speeches, seeking to change the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/andrew-cuomo-doj-must-immediately-explain-the-reason-for-its-raid\/\" title=\"Andrew Cuomo: \u2018DOJ Must Immediately Explain The Reason For Its Raid\u2019\">negative public perception<\/a> of his economic record.<\/p>\n<h3>Avoid: Israel and Gaza<\/h3>\n<p>Biden has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/premium\/2958068\/biden-changes-tone-toward-israel-over-gaza-war\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>struggled through<\/a> one of his greatest crises as president after Hamas\u2019s deadly Oct. 7 surprise attack against Israel unleashed the bloodiest war in the region since the 1948 Independence War. The destruction of Gaza has animated Biden\u2019s left flank against him, with many accusing him of partaking in a genocide. On the other end, more centrist and Jewish Democrats view Biden as not properly supporting Israel, possibly leaving them at the mercy of Iran and Hezbollah.<\/p>\n<p>Biden has sought to carefully balance the two perspectives, offering restrained criticism of Israel, satisfying neither group. Trump, meanwhile, has thrown his lot in with winning over Jewish and traditional Democrats, saying Jews who vote for Biden \u201cshould have their head examined.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Though Biden gets heckled by pro-Palestinian protesters in most public appearances, his campaign message focuses on avoiding the topic to avoid inflaming either side. In what is likely to be the most watched debate of the year, Biden will be best off avoiding the topic to avoid enflaming his flanks.<\/p>\n<h3>Discuss: Abortion<\/h3>\n<p>With the topic of abortion considered largely responsible for Democrats stopping an expected red wave in the 2022 midterm elections, Biden has sought to make the issue a centerpiece of his campaign. Though Trump has cast himself toward the center of the GOP on the issue, the Biden campaign has been steadfast in linking the former president to abortion bans.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has distanced himself from an abortion ban, though Biden has claimed that a vote for Trump would be a vote for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mcconnell-claims-a-national-abortion-ban-is-possible-if-roe-v-wade-is-overturned\/\" title=\"McConnell Claims A National Abortion Ban Is \u2018Possible\u2019 If Roe V.

Biden has claimed it is congressional Republicans and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/2843032\/bipartisan-border-ukraine-deal-fails-senate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Trump\u2019s influence<\/a> that has sunk his efforts to take action at the border.<\/p>\n<p>During the debate between the two, Biden is likely keen to avoid the spotlight being shown on a comparison of the two\u2019s immigration policies.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Joe Biden is gearing up for a crucial debate against former President Donald Trump.
