How did Trump win b/c of the economy?

I don’t remember him talking about the price of eggs at his rallies, including Madison Square Garden.

Hannibal Lector. Trump simulating taking a dump and fellatio. Comrade Kamala. But not about the economy.

Lies.

The right’s firehose of disinformation and lies about the economy being ‘bad.’

Along with willful ignorance, of course; lingering high prices were the consequence of global conditions and corporate gouging having nothing to do with what President Biden did or didn’t do.

As if he had a plan. As if some rich out of touch man cares about their broke asses. People are stupid in this country.

The people always blame the person in charge when stuff like that happens. Kamala, being a part of the administration, took a hit on this.

12. DEADLINE WHITEHOUSE uncovers REAL REASON Why Kamala Lost - Nicole Wallace MSNBC revealing Insights

Watch the video below. Tuesday's election loss was not due to a bad campaign but due to the fact that voters had a negative impression of the economy and the wrong track numbers were too high. I do NOT think that based on the polling discussed that the Democratic Party has to make drastic changes.

I am a numbers geek. While I do blame part of Kamala's defeat on sexism, I heard today a good explanation as to what one of the major reasons for Tuesday's election results on Deadline White House today. President Biden had an approval rating of around 40% and the wrong track numbers were very high. Historically, an incumbent president tends to get the same percentage of vote as their approval ratings. Here Kamala got 7% or so higher vote compared to Joe Biden's approval rating which is a testament to the fact that she ran a great campaign.




.

Joe Biden did a great job on the economy and prevented a recession. However the public was still upset at the fact that food and other things cost more and they felt bad about the economy. The high percentage of people who believe that the country was on the wrong track also hurt. In effect, Kamala was facing a very high burden to overcome and was unable to overcome the feelings that the country was on the wrong track and the fact voters were upset about the economy.
