Over the coming weeks, President Joe Biden and his senior representatives will make a tour of victory visits to promote a series of accomplishments under their watch.
The White House described the plan in a letter that DailyMail.com was able to get. The memo sets a positive tone for Democrats ahead of the midterm elections in November.
August may sap the momentum of many administrations. In a message to White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain, advisors Jen O’Malley Dillon and Anita Dunn state, “August is going to be a momentum booster for this team.”
On September 6, there will be a ceremony that includes a promotion of the Inflation Reduction Act at the White House.
Additionally, between Sunday and the end of August, Cabinet members will make over 35 trips to 23 states to promote the law and other Biden victories, such as the passage of the CHIPS Act and legislation regarding burn pits, the killing of al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri, and gas prices falling below $4.
This autumn, in the months leading up to the November election, the Building a Better America Tour will continue.
The email adds, “Our aim for the next weeks is straightforward: Take our message, one that we know resonates with important demographics, and reach the American people where they are.”
The message will centre on the legislation that Congress’ Democrats approved and criticise Republicans in Congress for standing with special interests and advancing an extreme MAGA agenda that harms families.
The media campaign coincides with concerns about how Democratic candidates would do in the crucial November elections that will determine Congress’s majority.
The majority of the travel is concentrated in states with close House races.
However, there are concerns about whether the Inflation Reduction Act, which includes measures for healthcare and the environment, would really reduce inflation.
A minor impact on inflation would result from the bill’s passage, according to the Congressional Budget Office.
The effect on inflation is statistically indistinguishable from zero, according to the University of Pennsylvania.
The Inflation Reduction Act is expected to reduce the deficit by $300 billion over the next ten years, and some people believe that a smaller deficit translates into lower inflation.
In The Wall Street Journal, former economic advisor to President Barack Obama Jason Furman stated: “Deficit reduction is nearly invariably inflation-reducing.”
According to a fact check by the Associated Press, “in principle, lesser deficits may cut inflation.”
That’s because decreasing the deficit via reduced government spending or greater taxes also reduces demand in the economy, which lessens pressure on businesses to increase prices.
Some families may save money thanks to the $437 billion Inflation Reduction Act, which lowers energy costs, extends health insurance subsidies, and lowers the cost of prescription medications for the elderly.
On Tuesday, when he returns from a weeklong vacation at Kiawah Island off the coast of South Carolina, Biden will officially sign the legislation into law.
The president will convene a cabinet meeting at the White House in the coming weeks. His representatives will inform mayors and governors, among other municipal leaders.
Both Biden and Kamala Harris, the vice president, will travel alone.
Although dates were not provided, the president will visit Pennsylvania and Ohio. He will also attend a groundbreaking ceremony at Intel in Ohio.
The two will make a concerted effort to swing the midterm election in favour of the Democrats by highlighting the accomplishments of their administration and denouncing “extreme MAGA” Republicans.
The intentions were disclosed by the White House last week.
The message document from senior advisor Anita Dunn and White House communications director Kate Bedingfield laid out their approach: attack Republicans for their support of Donald Trump and stand up for Biden’s economic record, which people find lacking.
“The President and Congressional Democrats overcame special interests and achieved the finest results for the American people.”
According to the report, “Congressional Republicans sided with special interests at every turn, advancing an extreme MAGA agenda that harms families.”
“The President, Vice President, and Cabinet will travel throughout the nation with this message when the President signs the Inflation Reduction Act into law.”
In a Reuters-Ipsos survey issued on Tuesday, Biden’s approval rating increased by two points to 40%, its highest level in the last two months.
It had been lower in the 1930s due to voter resentment at the highest inflation rate in 40 years, which drove up the cost of housing, food, and gasoline.
Meanwhile, Republicans are praising a number of internal surveys that indicate the GOP is expected to regain control of the lower chamber and that some close House contests are trending in their favour.
The Senate, though, presents a more difficult task for Republicans and may stay under Democratic control.
Additionally, the generic ballot polling average from FiveThirtyEight for the 2022 election shows Democrats and Republicans almost deadlocked at 43.8% to 43.4%.
