The conservative group Americans for Prosperity has launched a website that focuses on “Bidenomics” and how President Biden’s policies hurt families.
The website, Bidenomics.com, is part of an eight-figure campaign to show the “harmful impact” of Mr. Biden’s economic policies.
The group said the website “will serve as a real-time resource for the truth of Bidenomics, up to date information about the economy, and fact checks of Biden’s latest misleading rhetoric on the economy.”
“The reality is that everything costs more due to President Biden’s big government spending binge,” said AFP Vice President of Government Affairs Akash Chougule. “President Biden and his allies in Congress flooded the economy with more than $5 trillion and now Americans are paying thousands more each year just to make ends meet. The White House is telling Americans not to believe their checkbooks, but AFP is committed to calling out Bidenomics for what it is and turning up the heat on those responsible.”
AFP is throwing “significant weight” behind the accountability effort, including physical ads at metro stops around the Capitol, mobile billboards and digital targeting ahead of Mr. Biden’s State of the Union address on Thursday. The group is backed by billionaire industrialist Charles Koch.
The campaign will run through the fall and include new grassroots events across the country, digital and mail outreach, door-knocking and phone calls. New TV ads will air across 5 key Senate states, 26 high-stakes House districts and in Washington.
The website features different examples of “rhetoric versus reality,” contrasting statements made by Mr. Biden with what the group says is the reality. In one example, Mr. Biden said in 2023 that Bidenomics is “bringing down prices across the board,” but the website says that “overall prices are up almost 18% and it costs American families $11,400 more per year just to maintain the quality-of-life they had in January 2021.”
There are also two videos of Americans talking about their increased cost of living with an emphasis on grocery and gas prices.
AFP Action, a super political action committee, originally supported Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley, but pulled funding once she lost the primary in her home state of South Carolina to former President Donald Trump. It has not made any moves to show support for Mr. Trump.
