Democratic political strategist David Axelrod criticized President Biden’s economic messaging on Wednesday, arguing his pride may cost him the election.
Noting that the economy has improved in the post-pandemic era under Biden, the president’s claim that the hard days are behind the U.S. are off base, as polling consistently shows.
"I don't understand this. I don't understand all these months later. I thought that he spent $25 million mistakingly last fall touting Bidenomics and making the same argument that the president is making right here," Axelrod said during a panel discussion on CNN.
