Here are some graphs with the new jobs numbers factored in, once again showing just how much better Biden and Democrats have been as stewards of the American economy over the past 30 years. 1/
In just 9 months Biden has seen three times as many jobs created on his watch as were created during the last 3 GOP Presidencies, COMBINED.
Obama Clinton 33.8m jobs
Biden 5.6m jobs
2 Bushes, Trump 1.9m jobs
Breaking it down by month, its
Biden 620,000
Clinton Obama 176,000
2 Bushes Trump 9700
Yes that's Biden at 60x times job growth rate than last 3 GOP Presidents, and yes that's 10,000 a month for Rs.
Reminder that Trump ended with one of the worst economic records in American history, and was the first President since Hoover to see job loss during their Presidency. Sad, it is.
So, a thread about digging out of our current hole and making the 2022 elections competitive again.
Our most important job now is to lead America through the end of COVID and into a sustained recovery. That is why Biden was elected, and it is work that is still not finished. 1/
COVID has an extraordinary trauma for everyone.
There may not be a singular event this disruptive to our basic lives again in many of our lifetimes.
Getting us through it, ending it, putting it behind us remains job #1 for Democrats. 2/
I think Dems need an argument about MAGA not just Trump.
Realize @TerryMcAuliffe shorthanded it in the closing days, but goal should be to show how MAGA has replaced conservatism in the GOP, and brand the entire party as unfit/extreme.
So, the new strategy memo I just published about how Biden can get his poll numbers back up and once again seize control of the national debate has gotten a bit of attention this week.
The read that it's OK to delay the promised infrastructure vote because ultimately moderates will get a smaller BBB bill is not exactly right.
Think what most 2022 candidates truly wanted was a consensual process, like the ARP, and to avoid looking like Dems have run left.
For those running in 2022, sustained factional infighting needed to be avoided at all costs, as did anything that could be used by GOP to be able to say "see we were right - the socialists are taking over."
These concerns are just as/more important as the size of the package.
Not sure how we ended up with a process different from what created the American Rescue Plan. But during this period from late June on when the party struggles broke out, Biden's numbers have dropped 13 points on @FiveThirtyEight.
