President Joe Biden is old enough to remember the 1990s, so he is hoping a government shutdown and impeachment can turn around his dismal poll numbers and secure him a second term.
That’s how it worked for former President Bill Clinton, who was able to parlay the government shutdowns of 1995-96 into a successful reelection campaign after Democrats lost their congressional majorities. Then in Clinton’s second term, his poll numbers only went up when he was impeached for lying under oath about his sexual impropriety.This time, Republicans are flirting with a government shutdown and pursuing impeachment at the same time.
“While President Biden has been in New York this week showcasing America’s global leadership on the world stage, extreme House Republicans are consumed by chaos and marching our country toward a government shutdown that would damage our communities, economy, and national security,” the White House said in a statement Wednesday.
Biden then took a page from Clinton’s playbook, saying he was focused on the people’s business as House Republicans tried to impeach him. The second, more important flaw is that Biden may also be running a reelection strategy similar to the one that failed George H.W. Bush against Clinton: invoking aggregate economic data to try to persuade the electorate they are wrong about their perceptions of the economy.
Bush became defensive about his personal wealth and then said something about interest rates. Clinton emoted and knocked his answer out of the park.
