Biden boasts 'Bidenomics' working for Black Americans in op-ed honoring Martin Luther King: 'Advancing equity'

President Biden boasted "Bidenomics is working" for Black Americans in a Washington Post op-ed tied to the anniversary of Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech.

Biden has repeatedly touted "Bidenomics" – the sweeping term he's embraced for his White House's spending and investment policies in contrast to a Republican "trickle-down" approach – as lifting the middle class by lowering costs and touted the country's low unemployment rate. But he has continued to receive poor approval ratings on the key issue, with some media outlets like the New York Times recently dinging the public for its "refusal to give him credit for the good economic news."

A recent AP poll found 62% of respondents disapprove of Biden's handling of inflation, compared to 34% who said they approve. Although the inflation rate has come down, it's still high enough to affect everyday American purchasing power, and outlets have appeared frustrated that Biden isn't getting his due – "his efforts have yet to meaningfully register with the public," the AP fretted earlier this month about how he's promoting "the positive impacts of his policies."
