I ran to make sure that I followed through on what I said I would do as president of the United States." /EiZW2otEQpĪwareness of the catchphrase, meanwhile, keeps spreading. President Biden on his approval rating: "The polls are going to go up and down…I didn't run to determine how well I'm going to do in the polls. Also, almost 60% of adults view Biden’s handling of the economy negatively at the moment. “They’re not sure what else he can do.”Īlong those same lines, the latest national NBC News poll finds that not only do a majority of Americans disapprove of President Biden’s performance as president.
“Americans elected the president to get rid of his predecessor,” the piece continued. Along these lines, The Economist ran a piece recently with the headline: “No one love Joe Biden.” And yet, Biden is almost as unpopular at this point in his first year as President Trump was. He’s a couple of months away from closing out his first year in office. This also, to be sure, comes at a time when the president’s approval rating is not great.

The Biden administration has tried to downplay the supply chain crisis - which, to conservatives, has reeked of the same “Who are you going to believe - me, or your lying eyes?” defense that characterized the original “Let’s go, Brandon!” TV moment. Inflation is at a record high right now, and businesses are scrambling to implement the Biden administration’s coronavirus vaccine mandate while also not running off an untenable number of employees. In case you haven’t heard, there’s a bit of a supply chain crisis unfolding at the moment. One of the reasons this catchphrase has found such a receptive audience at the moment can be attributed to, for lack of a better description, the Biden economy. Even congressmen as well as the NRA, certainly no fans of the president, have gotten in on the act and promoted the phrase on social media. The phrase was all over social media again a couple of weekends ago, with the news that Southwest Airlines was canceling tons of flights (leading to suspicion that Biden’s vaccine mandate was somehow to blame). And here, there’s a reporter telling people something that was contradicted by what they could clearly hear with their own ears. Conservatives already feel like the mainstream media is stacked against them. So who is Brandon, you ask? Whether the reporter in that clip made a mistake when listening to them or not is kind of irrelevant at this point. Let’s go, Brandon!” In recent dats, South Carolina GOP congressman Jeff Duncan was also seen wearing a “Let’s go, Brandon!” face mask. Americans, he said, want Democrats to “put America back where you found it and leave it the hell alone. In recent days, Florida Republican House member Bill Posey ended a speech blasting President Biden’s Build Back Better plan. For example - The economy is in the dumps, you say? Well, let’s go, Brandon! Matter of fact, this phrase has even made it into the halls of Congress. Another common usage of this catchphrase since then has been to attach it to news that makes the president look bad. Needless to say, this phrase’s virality was assured pretty much from the get-go. Only, with an f-bomb in front of his name instead of “Let’s go!” The crowd was very clearly addressing President Biden, not Brandon. Unfortunately, that’s not actually what they were chanting. And sportscaster Kelli Stavast at one point commented during an interview with Brown afterward how the crowd seemed to be chanting in his honor: ‘Let’s go, Brandon!” Brandon Brown had just won a NASCAR race. This whole thing got started earlier this month, at the Talladega Superspeedway.
