In this episode of The Branding Democrats Podcast, Ken, Daryl, and Gabriella discuss the upcoming 2024 presidential election, specifically focusing on Biden’s reelection campaign.
House Democrats confirmed their support for President Joe Biden for another term at their annual retreat this week, even though his approval ratings are in the low 40s and there are concerns about his age. Democrats view him as their strongest candidate for the upcoming presidential election (for good reason!).
Our conversation focuses on how Democrats can address concerns over Biden’s age, and why it may not matter as much as people think it does. In the words of Joe Walsh, a former GOP Congressman: “Joe Biden is old, but Donald Trump is Deranged.”
Ken an Daryl discuss the positive accomplishments of the Biden administration, including record job gains and business startups, cuts to the deficit, and passing landmark bills.
Daryl delves deeper into values vs talking points, and how Biden is focusing his reelection campaign on freedom. In his reelection announcement ad, Biden says: “courage, opportunity, democracy, freedom: they’re the values and beliefs that built this country and still beat in our hearts. But they’re under attack by an extreme movement that seeks to overturn elections, ban books, and eliminate a woman’s right to choose”. We talk about how aligning Democrats with freedom is useful in combatting right wing extremism.
When it comes to Biden's winning reelection strategy, we want Dems to remember: It's the PARTY, not the PERSON. Voters should choose which side's values resonate with their own... At the end of the day, it's the party making decisions about our lives, not one individual.
