Former 2020 Biden campaign advisor Symone Sanders-Townsend, who is now an MSNBC host, suggested that the 2024 Biden campaign should drop the "Bidenomics" message.

"They are not going to get ‘Bidenomics.’ Let it go. How about you just make sure they know what you’re going to do and what you did?" Sanders-Townsend said during an interview with Politico. 

"You can give folks all the numbers about GDP and all these other things, but the data doesn’t move people. Stories move people," she added.

Sanders-Townsend also said voters haven't seen Biden "do what he can do best," such as taking questions from voters in a town hall setting.

"He’s been on prompter, he’s been standing on stages looking very presidential with the flags behind him. He gives his speech and he gets out," she said. "When was the last time you saw Joe Biden do a rope line? When’s the last time you saw Joe Biden in a town hall taking questions from the American people?"
