.MaddowBlog: How are Republicans responding to amazing Biden-era economic growth? By saying as little about it as possible.
In other words, forecasters projected an impressive jobs total in December, and the actual number was significantly better than they expected. When the head of the RNC said it was “the worst jobs report of Biden’s presidency so far,” she had it backwards.
But look again at the final five words of McDaniel’s tweet: “His ‘plan’ is not working!” As far as the Republican National Committee chair was concerned, there’s a direct correlation between the Biden White House’s economic agenda, the president’s on-the-job performance, and monthly job totals — and when the numbers are disappointing, it’s necessarily proof that the president is failing.
This wasn’t smart. For one thing, attributing month-to-month fluctuations to an incumbent administration is pretty silly. For another, such political posturing can obviously backfire, as the RNC has just made clear: If Biden deserves the blame in the wake of a disappointing report, it must mean that the president deserves credit in response to an amazing report.
