Amidst concerns over the economy and rising prices, Vice President Kamala Harris is faced with the challenge of promoting President Biden's economic agenda as she considers a potential presidential bid. Despite significant investments and the signing of major economic legislation, voters have given low marks to Biden's handling of the economy, posing a threat to his re-election chances.

President Biden's economic achievements include presiding over record job growth and steering the country towards recovery from the pandemic-induced recession, which was praised by many around the world. He also devised an ambitious multinational industrial policy aimed at rebuilding strategic manufacturing capacity and countering China.

However, voters have largely overlooked these accomplishments, instead focusing on the surge in inflation that has plagued much of the Biden administration's term. This critical issue has dampened public support for Biden and was already weighing on his re-election prospects, even before recent controversies raised questions about the president's age and performance.

In polls, the economy and prices have consistently emerged as top concerns for voters, with many expressing a preference for former President Donald J. Trump over Biden in handling these matters. With Biden stepping away from the 2024 campaign, the economic landscape looms large as Vice President Kamala Harris embarks on a mission to rally support for the presidential nomination.

At 59 years old and unburdened by the age-related questions that have plagued Biden, Harris faces the challenge of selling the Biden-Harris economic record. This record includes substantial investments in low-emission energy, advanced manufacturing, and other industries. Harris must also navigate the delicate task of maintaining Biden's connection with blue-collar voters in pivotal states like Michigan and Pennsylvania while re-engaging economically disaffected young voters who have grown disillusioned with the president.

Additionally, Harris must tackle voter anger over inflation, which peaked at 9 percent in 2022 but has since eased closer to the Federal Reserve's target rate of 2 percent. Winning over public sentiment in the face of these challenges will require deft messaging and a clear plan to address economic concerns.

As Harris ponders her potential presidential bid and seeks to build a strong campaign, the success of "Bidenomics" will depend not only on the policies implemented but also on her ability to effectively communicate and connect with voters on economic matters. Only time will tell if Harris can rise to the occasion and convince the American people that the Biden-Harris economic agenda is the path to a prosperous future.
