In a recent interview, Democratic Representative Ro Khanna from California addressed concerns over President Biden's dropping poll numbers in swing states. Although the economy is thriving, with lowered inflation and gas prices, Biden's popularity does not seem to be on the rise.
Reflecting on the situation, Khanna acknowledged that Biden has never been one to lead from the front. Throughout his political career, he has consistently faced uphill battles in his campaigns, whether it was in 1988, 2008, or even when he secured the nomination in 2020. Khanna suggests that President Biden should embrace this underdog status, taking inspiration from the likes of Harry Truman. By positioning himself as a fighter against a 'do-nothing Republican Congress,' Biden can connect with voters by emphasizing his commitment to the working class.
