On Wednesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Outfront,” CNN senior political commentator and former Obama aide David Axelrod said President Joe Biden is not leading with empathy on his economic message, saying, “If… “If he doesn’t win this race, it might not be Donald.” It may be Trump’s own pride that brings him down. ”
Axelrod said: I don’t understand it, but after a few months he left. I thought they mistakenly spent $25 million last fall promoting Bidennomics and making the same claims the president is making here. That’s absolutely true: The pandemic has thrown the world into economic crisis, and America has fallen into economic crisis, but we’ve bounced back faster than almost any other country. He’s right, but that’s not how people experience the economy. They experience it through the lens of cost of living. And since he is someone who has built his career on empathy, why not lead with empathy? And I think he’s making a terrible mistake. Maybe not — even if he doesn’t win this race, it might be his own pride, not Donald Trump’s, that won him over. ”
