A few months after Joe Biden took office his polling started to nosedive, and it coincided with the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan and never recovered.
Since then the Biden White House has tried everything including an "Inflation Reduction Act" which, if anything, made inflation so bad that this administration would like you to believe that three percent inflation is a success story:
Today’s economic report shows continued progress in the fight against inflation.
— The White House (@WhiteHouse) July 28, 2023
Annual inflation is at its lowest rate in more than two years
That’s providing families real breathing room – and it’s Bidenomics in action.
Imagine wanting everybody to join you in "celebrating" three percent inflation. Three percent inflation over ten years means that one-third of your savings/retirement will disappear -- POOF. And that's "breathing room" according to the clowns in the Biden White House.
But I digress -- the point is that nobody's buying the BS. Biden's tried blaming "MAGA Republicans" for all bad things up to and including July heat, and in a previous attempt to boost polling the Bidens got a new dog that ended up biting members of the Secret Service. Then the White House tried to sell us on "Bidenomics," and only the most loyal of Democrats are pretending to believe this administration isn't a train wreck.
So we've reached the next phase the attempt to rescue Biden's polling:

That's right -- yesterday, on a Friday evening just as Biden was getting set to disappear for ten days at his Delaware beach house -- the White House finally acknowledged their 7th grandchild.
Notable: First public acknowledgment of the president's 7th grandchild, Hunter Biden's daughter, Navy Joan. https://t.co/ARNu3lDKkK

Source tells me the president intends to refer to having SEVEN grandchildren going forward. https://t.co/FxIQ56o1UO

And it only took four years!
That got me thinking about the reason, and a lot of people know what's ultimately behind every decision made:
Those poll numbers must have been brutal https://t.co/4d54J8ulo6

Imagine being acknowledged as a grandchild only because polling against was so bad. https://t.co/qtK87VJwGW

Other reasons for the distraction are plentiful because the WH knows that "Bidenomics" actually sucks (apparently Kamala Harris knows that as well), the corruption scandals are piling up and Biden's son might not get off the hook as easily as they were hoping. But at least the Bidens will have pleased the New York Times' Maureen Dowd, who you'll be surprised to learn is a Republican:

Also apparently the Biden White House could no longer ignore the storyline:

The media certainly helped them ignore it for a long time.
