Arrr, me hearties! Word be spreadin' 'mongst the scallywags that Cap'n Biden, may he sail smooth seas, be vexed 'till his bones, fer he yearns to flaunt his infrastructure law booty. Yarr, patience be a virtue, mateys!
President Biden has reportedly expressed impatience and frustration to his senior advisers over the fact that the impact of his policies won't be immediately visible to Americans. According to CNN reporters, Biden is upset that even though he travels the country to promote legislation like the bipartisan infrastructure law, it could be years before construction begins in communities receiving federal funds. One anonymous Biden administration official confirmed the president's frustration, stating that he has vocalized it clearly. The sources also revealed that Biden understands that tangible structures take time to materialize but wishes he could show off some results. The pressure is mounting on Biden as Americans sour on his handling of the economy in the lead-up to the 2024 election. Despite highlighting his legislative record and positive economic indicators such as slowing inflation, low unemployment, and improving consumer confidence, public polling continues to show pessimism about the economy. A recent New York Times/Sienna College poll showed that over 60% of voters in battleground states are unhappy with the state of the economy. Some senior Biden officials are concerned that promoting "Bidenomics" is risky, as shifting public outlook won't happen overnight. However, White House aides remain hopeful that there is still time for public sentiment to improve before the next election if they can effectively communicate the substance behind Bidenomics. The White House and Biden campaign have not yet responded to Fox News' request for comment.
