The global stock markets took a nosedive on Monday, and it seems even Wall Street is beginning to panic about the economic management coming out of the Biden administration. The spotlight has turned to Vice President Kamala Harris, as the public wonders if her economic vision can improve upon the dubious legacy of “Bidenomics.” Spoiler alert: most people don’t seem convinced.
Harris hasn’t exactly dazzled anyone with a detailed economic plan of her own. Instead, she’s been busy pumping up Bidenomics even as inflation hit levels not seen since the stone age. Apparently, her strategy has mostly been about schmoozing it up at friendly gatherings, like black sorority conventions, rather than rolling out a clear financial agenda. It’s almost as if she’s playing Monopoly while everyone else is dealing with real-life debts and skyrocketing prices.

According to a recent Rasmussen Reports survey, voters aren’t exactly lining up to praise Harris. In fact, she’s rating far below even Biden himself in terms of economic expectations. A majority of likely voters think her economic policies would do no better than her boss’s – and a hefty percentage think they’d be worse. With 53% of respondents saying the Biden-Harris economic plan has flopped, it’s clear that a lot of people are not thrilled with the current economic trajectory.
Interestingly, when former President Donald Trump’s economic strategy was put up against the Biden-Harris plan, 51% of those surveyed believed Trump would do a better job. That’s a serious red flag for the current administration, considering Trump has been out of office for nearly three years. It seems many Americans would prefer to take their chances with the former reality star over the current duo who introduced them to aggressive inflation and sky-high prices.
In a baffling attempt at confidence, Harris has been accused of dodging questions about her future plans yet again. Perhaps if she spends a bit less time on social media trying to spin Bidenomics as a success and more time formulating an actual economic plan, voters might start taking her more seriously. Instead, many are just left scratching their heads at her infamous “word salads,” where she fluffs up rhetoric without serving any solid information.
As the economy crumbles like a badly made soufflé, one can only wonder if Kamala’s next big pitch will be as successful as her predecessors. Given the recent survey results and the current economic conditions, many Americans remain skeptical that “Kamalnomics” will be anything but a spin on an already mismanaged economic agenda.
