Doocy didn't stop there. He raised the issue again at a news conference and pressed White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre for more clarity. Jean-Pierre defended the administration's economic approach, dubbed “Bidenomics,” and said both Biden and Harris have been working together on policies to strengthen the middle class. He insisted that Bidenomics is about building an economy from the bottom up and the middle out, ensuring equity for the middle class.

Axios also reported that Harris plans to present a strategy at an upcoming rally in Raleigh, North Carolina, focused on fighting inflation and reducing housing, food and health care costs for middle-class Americans average Inflation has been a major challenge for Biden, with rates rising from 1.4% when he took office to a peak of 9% in June 2022.

The latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) data showed a fall below 3% in July, the first time in two years that inflation has fallen to this level. Yet despite those numbers, a New York Times/Siena poll found that in key battleground states like Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, Republican nominee Donald Trump leads Harris on economic issues by a 53 percent margin in 44% Another Financial Times poll showed Harris narrowly beating Trump 42% to 41%, even though nearly half of respondents believe Biden's policies have hurt the economy.

Adding to the economic debate, Trump recently accused Harris of copying his proposal to eliminate taxes on tips received by service workers, a claim he made to Truth Social. However, Harris campaign spokeswoman Adrienne Elrod told CNN that the “tip tax” idea is part of Harris' “own agenda,” separate from Biden's policies.
