According to Axios, President Biden’s mention of “Bidenomics” has dwindled significantly, with him uttering the term only once in the past two months. The report indicates that the president’s sole reference to “Bidenomics” since January 25 was prompted by an inquiry from the media outlet.

The article highlights a chart demonstrating the decline in Biden’s use of the term, which peaked in June when he referenced it 29 times to promote his economic agenda. However, as the months progressed, mentions of “Bidenomics” decreased substantially, with Biden not using the term at all in February.
Despite the diminished use of the phrase, Biden doubled down on its effectiveness during a recent appearance in North Carolina. He remarked, “Leading economists aren’t making much fun of ‘Bidenomics’ anymore. They’re thinking maybe it works!”
White House spokesperson Michael Kikukawa echoed this sentiment, stating that Biden will continue to advocate for “Bidenomics,” emphasizing its divergence from the policies of congressional Republicans.
While some Democrats, including Rep. James Clyburn, have distanced themselves from “Bidenomics,” Kikukawa emphasized Biden’s rising economic approval and the tangible impact of his policies on Americans’ lives.
The Axios report also recalled Biden’s initial reluctance to embrace the term, noting his previous statement disavowing credit for its creation. Additionally, it highlighted the substantial decline in the usage of “Bidenomics” by congressional Democrats, signaling a shift in messaging within the party.
In response to inquiries from Fox News Digital, Kikukawa defended Biden’s economic record, emphasizing the administration’s focus on initiatives such as lowering healthcare costs, investing in infrastructure, and promoting tax fairness.
“While the press is caught up in semantics,” Kikukawa said, “the President will continue talking about Bidenomics, which is a sharp contrast with Congressional Republicans, who are siding with special interests and the rich over middle-class families.”
