In a recent podcast appearance, former Obama adviser David Axelrod voiced his frustration with President Biden's economic strategies, stating that it drove him crazy when the president tried to "extol the miracle" of his economy while many Americans are still struggling to afford basic necessities.

Axelrod highlighted Biden's Easter interview with Al Roker, where he touted the "strongest economy in the world," as an example of the wrong strategy. Instead, Axelrod suggested that Biden should empathize with working-class Americans and acknowledge their ongoing economic challenges.

"The right strategy is to say, 'Look, we've made a lot of progress, but people still face difficulties in affording groceries, gas, and rent. I'm fighting for them,'" Axelrod remarked, urging Biden to position himself on the side of working people in their economic fight.

Axelrod also raised concerns about Biden's electoral prospects, pointing out that the president was trailing former President Trump in hypothetical election matchups, including key swing states. He emphasized that winning over working-class voters would be crucial for Biden's re-election.

"Bottom line, be more like Joe from Scranton and less like President Biden from Washington. These are the voters who will decide the election, and they need to see the president on their side," Axelrod urged.

Politico columnist Jonathan Martin echoed Axelrod's sentiment, highlighting the need for a winning strategy and cautioning against derogatory remarks towards advisors. Martin noted that calling Axelrod derogatory terms would not help Biden secure the required electoral votes.

The critique from Axelrod signifies a growing dissatisfaction among some observers regarding President Biden's economic messaging and electoral strategy. As the country faces economic challenges despite signs of improvement, it remains to be seen how the administration will respond and refocus its efforts to address the concerns of working Americans.
