NBC: Biden’s “troubles in Arizona”

August 15, 2023

Grim news for extreme Democrats down-ballot: NBC News reports “Biden is out pitching his economic wins. Arizona voters say they don’t see them.

A recent CNN poll found Americans overwhelmingly trust Republicans in Congress over Biden to handle the issues facing the county.

“‘Bidenomics’ is completely failing Arizonans and they know it. Extreme Democrats like Kirsten Engel running on the ‘Bidenomics’ platform in Arizona will lose.” – NRCC Spokesperson Ben Petersen

Highlights from the story:

  • “Yet Arizona poses a challenge for Biden that grows more daunting by the day. Voters he needs to recreate the winning coalition from 2020 have soured on his presidency.”
  • “The president’s troubles in Arizona mirror the dilemma he faces nationally. For all the progress Biden cites when it comes to the unemployment rate and job creation, many Americans neither see nor feel it. If anything, they believe life has been getting tougher under what the president has cheekily dubbed Bidenomics.”
  • Complaints about Biden centered on the economy. Biden’s boast that he wants to be the most pro-union president in history doesn’t appear to have sunk in.”
  • What troubles him is the economy. ‘Horrible!’ he said. Cueva said he voted for Biden in 2020 but is now leaning toward Trump should he become the Republican nominee. ‘Everything went up,’ he said of prices.”
  • “Jorge Maldonado, the city’s mayor, said he thought that residents were not getting the support they needed from the federal government. He voted for Biden in 2020 but does not think he’ll do it a second time because he doesn’t ‘think he’s really there for the right reasons.’”
