Bidens Economic Paradox: A Gift for His Potential Successor?

Despite a strong economic performance overall, President Biden faces criticism for inflation, which, although cooling down, is attributed to him by many, particularly Republicans. While Biden`s stimulus package contributed to inflation, it was largely a result of pandemic-related issues and global factors, including his predecessor`s stimulus actions.

However, Biden`s age and a perceived decline in his debate performance have fueled calls for him to step down, with some Democrats fearing he cannot defeat Trump. While Biden maintains he is fit for office, speculation about potential replacements is rampant, with Vice President Kamala Harris being the clear frontrunner. It is unclear if voters would link Harris to inflation as they do with Biden, given the vice presidency`s limited portfolio.
