Joe Biden Fiddles as Adviser Gives Brutally Honest Assessment of WH Midterm ‘Messaging Strategy’ – Opinion

It has been obvious for some time that Democrats will be in trouble going into the midterm election of 2022.

Joe Biden’s (and Kamala Harris’) approval ratings are in the toilet, and Biden is polling poorly on his handling of key issues like the economy, inflation, and illegal immigration. Further, Biden’s support among key voting blocs is cratering, and most generic Congressional ballot polls show Republicans with a distinct advantage over Democrats.

All OneThese issues are concerning to a party during a critical election year. But the fact that they’re all happening at the same time portends disaster in a few months, and it’s got Democrat movers and shakers across the country sounding the alarm bells and looking to the White House for an effective message strategy that could perhaps turn the tide or at the very least blunt the damage that is predicted to come.

But according to a new report from the Washington Post, the White House’s messaging strategy is about as coherent and meaningful as your average Joe Biden speech. In other words, a lot of Democrats are sailing up the creek without a paddle right now because the Biden-Harris White House can’t get it together:

But it’s an effort some in the party say is long overdue, and despite Biden’s ramped-up efforts, there is no finalized, comprehensive strategy for the midterms inside the White House. There’s no overarching document that outlines the president’s involvement in key races, nor a set message that will carry the party through November, according to multiple people familiar with the situation who spoke on the condition of anonymity to talk candidly.

The Biden White House is closely in touch with a Democratic adviser, who gave a very harsh assessment on the situation at Pennsylvania Avenue.

“There is as much a plan to win the midterms as there was to airlift Afghans out of Kabul,” said one Democratic political adviser who remains close to the White House. “They’re putting us all in a bad place.” The adviser, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to speak candidly about the party’s prospects, was referring to the chaotic, deadly withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan last summer.

The adviser said the White House’s top-down political decision-making process is often impeded by bottlenecks, which hinder coordination with party committees, state parties, advocacy groups and donors. According to the advisor, information is not always available at the right time for all stakeholders, which can lead to misdirected or wasted resources.

This… will not go well. His handlers tried to keep him from the media/public for the past 15 months because they remembered it being a good tactic in 2020 to contain the damage that will occur whenever he speaks out of his mouth.

Biden will continue on his journey. What message will he send? Is he going to explain his failures in immigration? That the inflation problem doesn’t appear likely to let up anytime soon? In Democrat-ruled areas of the country, rising crime rates

Team Biden has a problem. The data speak for themselves. There is no need to spin, dodge, weave, or sugar coat.
