** NEW REPORT!
"Bidenomics" as Politics and Policy: Credible Start, but Gaps to Fill
------------------------------------------------------------
By Ed Gresser
PPI's Vice President & Director for Trade and Global Markets
A PPI Report ([link removed])
The White House has spent the summer touting President Biden’s economic record in a case for re-election, calling it “Bidenomics.” In June, the administration released a paper summarizing its view of the current economy, the role of its policies to date in creating record job numbers and promoting manufacturing, noting high growth relative to peer countries and falling inflation rates, and the ways to build on success. Yet many working Americans still feel the impact of rising costs on their day-to-day lives and recent polling has shown that voters remain unhappy about the economy.

PPI released a new report, "'Bidenomics' as Politics and Policy: Creditable Start, But Gaps to Fill ([link removed]) ," analyzing the administration’s record to date and its plans for the coming years, with ideas on messaging and policy solutions to fill the gaps missing in their economic agenda. Report author Ed Gresser examines the case for Bidenomics, the administration’s success in reviving the COVID-stricken economy of 2020 and its less-compelling depiction of the likely Republican 2024 opposition, and the areas in which Bidenomics can go further.

** What Democrats can learn from the UK’s resurgent Labour Party
------------------------------------------------------------
By Will Marshall
President and Founder of the Progressive Policy Institute
For The Hill ([link removed])
When Britain’s Labour Party gathers for its annual conference in Liverpool next month, its main task may be tamping down overconfidence about next year’s national election. Almost everyone expects Labour to oust the ruling Conservatives after 13 turbulent years in power. If so, it would cap a remarkable reversal in Labour’s fortunes engineered by party leader Keir Starmer, who would become Prime Minister.

Starmer, who was featured in a May conference co-sponsored by Progressive Britain and my organization, the Progressive Policy Institute, grasps something that eludes many U.S. Democrats: It will take more than a new economic offer to bring working class voters back to Labour. Restoring hope for working people, he argues, also requires building prosperity on a strong social foundation of “stability, order and security.”
