With a new year upon us and a presidential election just around the corner, Republican and Democratic strategists are offering suggestions on what President Joe Biden's New Year's resolutions should be.
Biden is set to end 2023 with weaker polls showing the president's approval ratings are low and he is trailing in a hypothetical showdown between him and former President Donald Trump both nationally and in key battleground states. There is. In an effort to turn things around or keep the president in the doldrums, Republican and Democratic strategists suggest Biden play his age, focus on Bidennomics and stay 'calm' did.
“He takes advantage of his age and thinks, 'I'm old, but that means I'm used to the ways of the world and wise.' Provides calm. Republicans are confused. I think that's the biggest contrast he can make,” Democratic strategist Brad Bannon told the Daily Caller. Biden should resolve to remain calm throughout the year. said.
Opinion polls have raised concerns about the 81-year-old's suitability for office during 2023, in part due to a series of debunked stories and gaffes. A George Washington University/YouGov poll in November found that a majority of Americans believe Biden is mentally and physically unfit to serve effectively as president.
Biden made several missteps throughout the year, including praising the “Congressional Black Caucus” during a speech at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus' annual gala. While celebrating the 22nd anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, Biden claimed to have been at Ground Zero the day after the attacks. The White House was unable to provide evidence to back up Biden's claims, instead pointing to a field trip the president made several weeks later.

Leslie Marshall echoed Bannon's determination, encouraging the president to consider his age and use it to his advantage throughout the election year.
“Some people might think, don't emphasize his age. I'm sure they'll call him 'Mr.' Mr. President, please trot up the stairs. Are you sure you understand what I'm saying? ” Marshall told the Daily Caller.
“We all go on trips. I don't care how old you are. Make light of it. Use this. Use it to your advantage,” Marshall said. continued.
Aside from concerns about the president's age, Biden and his administration have faced backlash over the president's economic messaging, commonly known as “Bidenomics.” Although the White House continues to insist that the economy is improving, even going so far as to say that 2023 Thanksgiving will be the cheapest on record, Americans are not convinced.75 percent of US adults Said In September, it was announced that while 61 percent of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, the economy is in “fair” or “poor” shape.

Other Republican strategists suggested that Mr. Biden would secure the border or take action against administration officials who protest the president's pro-Israel stance.
“Fire all the kids who worked for him and protested in their front yards,” Scott Jennings, a longtime Republican adviser and campaign veteran in Kentucky, told the Daily Caller. ” he said. “fire. they. all. ”
Since Hamas launched terrorist attacks on Israel, Biden has pledged support to Israel through its war against terrorist organizations. Mr. Biden's unwavering support for the country has drawn criticism from administration officials and allies within his own party.

A placard held up by the staffers read, “President Biden, staffers are calling for a ceasefire.”
Some thought the president should take notes from the front-runners in the 2024 presidential election.
“President Biden's New Year's resolution should be a reinforcement of the Trump administration's policies,” Hilton Beckham, communications director at the America First Policy Institute, told the Daily Caller. “Restoring America's First Principles, which economically empower Americans, ensure community safety, and strengthen our porous borders, will restore public trust and protect the lives of the far left and its destructive policies. It will be a step towards getting our country back on track from the chaos. ”

Among the serious resolutions that touched on hot topics, there were some with a touch of humor when proposing New Year's resolutions to the president.
