While replacing the oldest president in history with a comely 59-year-old neutralized the potent attacks on Biden&rsquo;s age and cognitive fitness for office, Harris still carries the baggage of four nearly universally deplored years of federal governance.<\/p>\n<p>From the record influx of 10 million illegal immigrants into our southern border to the issue that voters prioritize over any other, the economy, Harris should still be paying the price in the polls for her abysmal record.<\/p>\n<p>And yet, Harris has taken the lead over Trump on the economy in a <em>Financial Times<\/em> poll that is downright unprecedented for this election cycle. Despite her lead by just 1 point, with 42% of voters saying they trust Harris on the economy versus the 41% who say they trust Trump, the poll is remarkable if only <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/opinion\/3062327\/bidens-winning-issues-are-issues-nobody-cares-about\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>because Trump was leading Biden consistently and often by a double-digit margin<\/a> on the matter long before the latter&rsquo;s career-ending debate implosion. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/opinion\/3014700\/2024-about-economy-stupid-specifically-inflation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>As early as May<\/a>, three-fifths of voters in the <em>Real Clear Politics<\/em>&nbsp;polling aggregation disapproved of Biden&rsquo;s economic proposals, with the <em>Financial Times<\/em> finding that half of all voters blamed Biden&rsquo;s policies specifically for making economic conditions worse.<\/p>\n<p>Harris was a key architect of and a tiebreaking vote for the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/inflation-reduction-act-subsidies-cost-goldman-sachs-report-5623cd29\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>$1.2 trillion<\/a> Inflation Reduction Act, which, of course, was about as accurately and honestly named as the Democratic People&rsquo;s &ldquo;Republic&rdquo; of Korea. Behind the scenes, Harris has been instrumental in the White House&rsquo;s cancellation of student debt and pauses on recouping interest payments on outstanding debt, which the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crfb.org\/blogs\/total-cost-student-debt-cancellation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"tallies\">tallies<\/a> as a total combined cost of $870 billion to $1.4 trillion as of April.<\/p>\n<p>And yet, the polling indicates that in the minds of voters, there is a burgeoning and politically devastating disconnect. While the overwhelming majority of registered voters still rate overall economic conditions negatively and their economic situations worse off since Biden and Harris took office, they seem to have resigned themselves to the delusion that Harris would or could dramatically pivot away from the &ldquo;Bidenomics&rdquo; that she was fundamental in executing through both her role as president of the Senate and executive fiat.<\/p>\n<p>For example, per the <em>Financial Times<\/em> poll, 39% of voters blamed Democratic policies for the inflation wrought over the past six months, while only 24% blamed Republican policies. Whereas a plurality of voters agreed that Trump&rsquo;s economic policies would leave them personally better off, only 33% of voters said the same about Harris, with a 38% plurality conceding that her policies would leave them worse off. But voters still trust Harris overall on the economy. And why? Because they believe she is not responsible for Bidenomics.<\/p>\n<p>In what likely counts as wish casting, only 11% of voters said Harris should stick with Biden&rsquo;s economic policies. More than 60% said she should either take a completely different approach or make major changes, with just 29% saying she should make minor changes to Bidenomics.<\/p>\n<p>When Democrats decided to replace the candidate elected by the party&rsquo;s voters with a candidate who had not earned a single vote from any primary voter in either 2020 or 2024, the Trump campaign was blindsided. Democrats had spent four years upholding themselves as the standard-bearers of democracy and decency &mdash; effectively disenfranchising their entire primary electorate came as a shock and should have come as a scandal that implicated Harris, as well as the party.<\/p>\n<p>But it hasn&rsquo;t, and the Democratic hagiographers in the media have launched a concerted and, to date, successful effort to redefine Harris and sever her carefully constructed persona from her actual record as chief consigliere to the president still in power.<\/p>\n<p>If Trump has one job before Election Day, it is to reclaim the narrative and remind voters that Harris is responsible for the disaster of Bidenomics and that her presidency would likely be even more radical. The unprecedented $8 trillion spending spree during Harris&rsquo;s tenure has resulted in the worst inflationary cycle in 40 years, with prices up more than 20% for an average annual inflation rate of nearly 6%, or thrice the Federal Reserve&rsquo;s maximum target. Whereas real average weekly earnings rose by 9.1% under Trump&rsquo;s presidency, they have fallen by more than 4% since Harris took office. The S&amp;P 500 delivered 55% inflation-adjusted returns under Trump compared to just 16% under Harris and Biden, and the Nasdaq delivered 116% inflation-adjusted returns under Trump compared to a measly 7% under Harris and Biden.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the White House has previewed how Harris plans to double down on Bidenomics with rent control and raising the corporate tax rate from its current globally competitive 21% to 32%.<\/p>\n<p>At the Republican National Convention, Trump economic adviser Stephen Moore explained to me what the prevailing message should be.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;If you look at how much money was raised by the taxes, we, last year, we collected a record amount of tax revenue,&rdquo; Moore said about Trump&rsquo;s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. &ldquo;We don&rsquo;t have a revenue problem in Washington. We have a massive overspending program problem.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And Trump has a specific record of results to compare to dramatic contrast against Harris. Thanks to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-rescinds-trumps-apprenticeship-plan-by-executive-order\/\" title=\"Biden Rescinds Trump\u2019s Apprenticeship Plan By Executive Order\">pro-growth policies<\/a> such as the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, inflation averaged below the Fed&rsquo;s 2% target across his presidency, and deregulatory policies saved households $11,000 over four years versus more than $40,000 in regulatory costs incurred by Biden and Harris. Biden and Harris inherited a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/people-are-right-to-blame-biden-for-their-economic-woes\/\" title=\"People rightly hold Biden accountable for their financial struggles\">20% personal savings rate<\/a> as a percentage of disposable income when they took office, but that figure has dwindled to 3.6% as savings and paychecks prove less capable of covering rising prices. Compare that to the personal savings rate as a percentage of disposable income, which nearly doubled from the time Trump took office to 9.1%.<\/p>\n<p>This election will not be won by &ldquo;brat&rdquo; Harris and &ldquo;weird&rdquo; Tim Walz, the Minnesota governor and her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/democrats-pass-bill-critics-say-defunds-police-and-reject-proposal-to-condemn-calls-to-abolish-police\/\" title=\"Democrats Pass Bill Critics Say Defunds Police And Reject Proposal To Condemn Calls To \u2018Abolish\u2019 Police\">vice presidential running mate<\/a>, canoodling with celebrities any more than it will be won by Trump focusing on his grievances over his demonstrable policy record and priorities. And with the stakes this high, Trump must remind the electorate that a vote for Harris&rsquo;s candidacy is a vote for another four years of the most destructive economic agenda of the 21st century.<\/p>\n<p> <script data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/cdn-cgi\/scripts\/5c5dd728\/cloudflare-static\/email-decode.min.js\"><\/script><script>!function(){var g=window;g.googletag=g.googletag||{},g.googletag.cmd=g.googletag.cmd||[],g.googletag.cmd.push(function(){g.googletag.pubads().setTargeting(\"has-featured-video\",\"true\")})}();<\/script><script>var _bp=_bp||[];_bp.push({\"div\":\"Brid_1730680\",\"obj\":{\"id\":\"27789\",\"width\":\"1280\",\"height\":\"720\",\"stickyDirection\":\"below\",\"video\":\"1730680\"}});<\/script><script defer src=\"https:\/\/services.brid.tv\/player\/build\/brid.min.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>**Magazine &#8211; Business**<\/p>\n<p>Trump needs to remind voters that Harris is accountable for the failures of &#8216;Bidenomics&#8217; and highlight his own economic achievements. Despite Democrats replacing President Joe Biden with Vice President Kamala Harris as their 2024 candidate, the core arguments for GOP nominee Donald Trump should remain unchanged. While Harris&#8217;s youth may mitigate concerns about Biden&#8217;s age and mental fitness, she still bears the weight of four years of widely criticized federal governance. From a significant surge in illegal immigration at the southern border to economic issues that voters prioritize above all else, Harris should be facing repercussions in polls due to her poor track record.<\/p>\n<p>Surprisingly, a recent Financial Times poll shows Harris slightly ahead of Trump on economic matters\u201442% trust her compared to 41% for Trump\u2014an unprecedented shift this election cycle. This is notable given Trump&#8217;s previous consistent leads over Biden on economic issues before Biden&#8217;s disastrous debate performance. By May, a majority of voters disapproved of Biden\u2019s economic policies, with many attributing worsening conditions directly to them.<\/p>\n<p>Harris played a crucial role in major legislation like the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan and the $1.2 trillion Inflation Reduction Act\u2014both criticized for their misleading titles\u2014and has been involved in significant financial decisions such as student debt cancellation that could cost taxpayers up to $1.4 trillion.<\/p>\n<p>Despite negative perceptions about current economic conditions under Biden and Harris, many voters seem mistakenly convinced that Harris could significantly change course from &#8216;Bidenomics,&#8217; which she helped implement as Senate president and through executive actions. A Financial Times poll indicates that while most blame Democratic policies for inflation over recent months, they still trust Harris more than Trump regarding future economic management.<\/p>\n<p>Voters appear willing to give her another chance; only 11% believe she should continue with Biden\u2019s policies while over 60% want either a complete overhaul or substantial changes. The decision by Democrats to replace an elected candidate with someone who hadn\u2019t received any primary votes shocked Trump&#8217;s campaign but has not led to accountability for either party or media narratives surrounding it.<\/p>\n<p>As Election Day approaches, it is crucial for Trump to reclaim control of this narrative by emphasizing that Harris shares responsibility for &#8216;Bidenomics&#8217; failures and warning voters about potential radical shifts if she were elected president again.<\/p>\n<p>The unprecedented spending during her tenure has contributed significantly to inflation rates not seen in four decades; prices have risen more than 20%, leading average weekly earnings down since she took office compared with gains during Trump&#8217;s presidency when inflation was kept below target levels through pro-growth policies like tax cuts and deregulation.<\/p>\n<p>This election will hinge less on celebrity endorsements or personal grievances from candidates but rather on clear policy contrasts between Trump\u2019s successful record versus what he argues would be another four years under destructive Democratic economics led by Harris<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2693,"featured_media":2325440,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/tiana-lowe-doescher-trump-harris-bidenomics-081424B3R2-1024x591.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[12626,38305,4021,3634],"class_list":["post-2325439","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-bidenomics","tag-economic-success","tag-harris","tag-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/tiana-lowe-doescher-trump-harris-bidenomics-081424B3R2-1024x591.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2325439","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2693"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2325439"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2325439\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2325440"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2325439"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2325439"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2325439"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
