White House says US not in recession, lowering inflation 'number one' priority

White House says tackling inflation is 'number one' problem it faces

FOXBusiness | Caitlin McFall & Charles Brady

November 3, 2022

The White House on Thursday looked to set the record straight on the state of the U.S. economy and said the U.S. is not in a recession.

"We are not in a recession. I want to be really, really clear on that," White House chief of staff Ron Klain said in an MSNBC morning interview.

Klain pointed to the U.S. labor market, which remains at a 53-year historical low, and said the Biden administration has "created more jobs in two years than any administration in history." Read more

 

Curtis: No Requirement for Republicans

to Be Stupid in 2022

American Thinker | GOPAC Executive Director Jessica Curtis

November 3, 2022

For many years, it has been my contention that elections are won and lost based on the question voters think they are asking and answering when they go into the voting booth.  In 2022, that will remain the case.  However, for the first time in my career in politics, the question being asked will be different for voters in each party.

In the past, the basic topics receiving focus and attention were the same for Republicans and Democrats.  The differences were in what each party thought should be done about them.  Not in 2022.  Instead, and the data is overwhelming, what concerns Democrats versus what concerns Republicans is vastly different in nature.  The real question is where the 7-12 percent of voters who are truly up for grabs come down—not so much on what they want done, but rather what they feel is more important be prioritized.

WG Economy: WH Claims They Rescued the Economy But Voters Aren’t Convinced 

WG Economy | David Winston

November 2, 2022

In the closing week of the campaign, Democrats are struggling to find an effective economic message. One of the concepts they have been promoting is that the Biden Administration rescued the economy. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said on Face the Nation that "if we hadn't rescued the economy through the American Rescue Plan, we would not have had the 10 million jobs that were created under this president." In the latest survey for Winning the Issues (October 17-19), we tested this idea and found that by 2:1, voters did not believe that the Biden Administration rescued the economy through the American Rescue Plan passed last year (27-54 believe-do not believe.)

Women powered a blue wave in 2018. Now the tables appear to have turned

CNN | Maeve Reston

Republicans are bullish that this could be the year of the "security mom" - the moment when women who abandoned the GOP during Donald Trump's presidency gravitate back toward Republican nominees who are speaking to their worries about the economic and physical security of their families.

But Democrats hope the tide will turn back in their favor in this final election week if undecided female voters - particularly those just beginning to research their candidates - conclude that the Republican Party has no substantive plans to address the bite of inflation and that the party's stance on abortion is too extreme following the Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade.

Neither side can predict the outcome on November 8, but strategists from both parties are laser-focused on winning over those female swing voters who could once again be the determining factor in deciding control of the US House and Senate, as well as many key governor's races. Read more

 

ICYMI: WG Discussion Points

Biden's Closing Argument is Straight

From the 2010 Playbook

WG Discussion Points | David Winston

October 28, 2022

In a Wednesday Washington Post article entitled "Biden's closing argument: Republicans would trash the economy," the article stated, "Amid voter anxiety, Democrats are warning that the GOP would gut Medicare and Social Security, shut down the governmental send the economy into a tailspin." This may sound familiar to those who went through the 2010 election. In the closing weeks of the 2010 election cycle, President Obama argued that Republican policies had put the "economic car" in a ditch and that he had spent the last two years getting it out. Now wasn't the time to give the keys back "to the folks who got us in the ditch in the first place."
