The Washington Examiner’s Tiana Lowe Doescher stated Thursday that voters do not feel that President Joe Biden has delivered on giving them the “return to normalcy” they were promised in electing him.
Doescher, a commentary writer for the Washington Examiner, made the assessment while discussing declining support for Biden among minority and lower-class voters, potentially spelling trouble for the president come November. Doescher stated that this year’s presidential election is “a kitchen table election,” noting how inflation has hit many voters with a lower income the most.
“No one feels like there was the return to normalcy that we were promised, right?” Doescher said on Fox Business’s Mornings with Maria. “Not only do you have the economy, where inflation, this is for lots of people [the] first real inflationary cycle they’ve lived through because a lot of people don’t remember the ’70s and Carter and Volcker and stagflation.”
Beyond inflation, other issues that voters are greatly concerned about include national security, with Doescher citing the 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan and the Hamas attack on Israel as cause for concern among voters. She also called the southern border “such an own goal,” noting that many voters are sensing Biden is responsible for the situation.
Doescher’s assessment of the mood of voters comes as some news outlets have conducted interviews with voters, with some stating that they intend to vote for former President Donald Trump over Biden. Kinard Givens, one of the voters interviewed, explained that his friends have told him that they are “broke” under Biden but were not when Trump was president, noting that this sentiment is “kind of the only thing that I’m hearing over and over again.”

Other recent polls bode well for the former president, as a recent poll showed Trump beating Biden by 22% when asked who would handle the economy better.
Trump has yet to win the Republican Party’s nomination for the 2024 election, but has so far bested his opponents in the race, both in the Iowa caucuses and in the New Hampshire primary held last month. Former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley, Trump’s biggest rival in the Republican primary, recently lost the Nevada primary to the “none of these candidates” category, with Trump calling it “a bad night” for Haley.
