Donald Trump's conviction on 34 felony counts might finally distract voters from thinking about what they don't like about Joe Biden.
President Biden wants voters to think of anything this year other than the inflation that popped up during his presidency and is still weighing on family budgets.
One key lesson of "Bidenflation," as the president's critics call it, is that, unlike economists, ordinary people don’t measure inflation by the annual rate of change in the Consumer Price Index. They measure it by how much more they have to pay for stuff than they used to. The timeframe could be one year, but it could also be one month, three years, or however long ago it was when gas was under $3 per gallon.
This could be an effective way for Biden to hit Trump while he’s down: incessantly reminding voters that his electoral opponent is a “convicted felon” while shoring up his own weaknesses where he can. Inflation is not going to land where voters or Biden want it to this year, but that might not be a fatal outcome for the incumbent after all.
