"As President Biden and his team raced to write and rewrite his State of
the Union address, a pair of progressives reached out to the White House
with warnings, polling data, and even edits," reported RealClearPolitics
this week.
In his State Of The Union, President Biden took our advice! A top Politico
reporter wrote:
The biggest recommendation from the PCCC for Biden was used tonight almost
verbatim in the State of the Union: "We have two ways to go. Republicans
can cut Social Security and give more tax breaks to the wealthy… I'll
protect and strengthen Social Security and make the wealthy pay their fair
share."
Our polling with Data For Progress shows that this economic message alone
turns a Democratic 2-point loss to Trump into a 7-point win!
We’ve hinted for months that we’re working on a behind-the-scenes
messaging project to help Democrats win in 2024. Now, it’s quite public!

Another top reporter wrote, "For months, the Progressive Change Campaign
Committee has encouraged the White House to link Social Security and
taxing the wealthy. Biden took their advice tonight."
Here is the rationale behind this strategy. Our polling with Data For
Progress shows Independent voters trust Biden and Trump equally on Social
Security. That’s nuts.
[ [link removed] ]There Is No Perceived Contrast on Social Security
Why is this true? Because Republicans keep lying and pretending they won’t
cut Social Security even as all 4 of Trump’s budgets did! So, as
RealClearPolitics reported:
"Let’s pick a new fight where Republicans can’t even pretend to match our
position," Green said...The strategy is simple. Because Republicans are
not willing to raise taxes on the wealthy, he said, previewing the
argument he wants Biden to make, "let’s tie together the idea that they
want to cut taxes on billionaires and cut Social Security."
