Governor Sununu: ‘Bidenomics’ Coming Back To Haunt Kamala

New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu said over the weekend that the Biden-Harris administration’s “Bidenomics” was coming back to bite Vice President Kamala Harris on the campaign trail.

Sununu made the remarks during a Sunday on ABC News’ “This Week,” after Martha Raddatz noted that voters overwhelmingly trust former President Donald Trump over Harris when it comes to the economy.

Raddatz then tried to spread fear about Trump’s proposal to increase tariffs on products from China for national security reasons.

“When it comes to the voter, where this election is going, no voter is voting on tariffs,” Sununu said. “It’s a very complex thing. When it comes to the economy, what that really means is, can I afford to bring my kids to McDonald’s? Can I afford to pay the rent?”

“The economy really translates to a cost of living issue when it comes to people at the ballot box,” he said. “Now, if and when he becomes president, they’ll have to sort out the tariff issue. Is he using it for leverage against China, to ratchet things down, to force better negotiations? That will all play itself out, but the average voter doesn’t look at that stuff right now.”

He said that it all comes down to can people buy the same amount of goods that they were able to four years ago.

“And the ‘Bidenomics’ thing, I think, is really coming back to haunt Biden and Kamala Harris, especially,” he said. “When you’re told by the government, ‘You’re fine. Bidenomics is working for you’, it’s the worst form of gaslighting.”

“It’s so condescending, because not all the ads or all the messages from a politician are going to tell you that your lived experience isn’t real,” he continued. “And for the average American, their lived experience is credit card bills and energy bills and things that they can’t afford. That’s the economic message that people are taking to the ballot box.”
