MSNBC host and former 2020 Biden campaign aide Symone Sanders-Townsend said voters were not going to "get" the president's "Bidenomics" message and suggested they "let it go."
"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? … 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 told Politico.
Townsend was also an adviser to Vice President Kamala Harris before she moved on to host weekend show for MSNBC.
She claimed the campaign wasn't letting him do what he does best, talking to the American people.
"You haven't seen him do what he can do [best]. 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. 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?" she said.
Townsend added that putting the president in a more "intimate setting" where he can talk to voters might help alleviate age concerns.
The MSNBC host told Politico that the campaign wasn't making their messaging "plain" enough for voters to understand.
"They talked a lot about acronyms in the beginning and not enough about the plain things. You ain't even got to name the legislation. Just tell the people what has happened. And I think that there was maybe too much of a focus on trying to message it tightly up in a nice bow and not enough focus on just, well, how can we make it plain for the people that we want to understand it?" she told the media outlet.
The Biden campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was recently asked about "Bidenomics" and about how she would explain key voting blocs, such as young voters, "straying" from the president and looking at other choices, such as Donald Trump.
"Look, we understand what the American people went through these past three years, right? We came out of a pandemic, right? A pandemic that we haven't seen in a hundred years. And when the president walked in, the economy was upside-down," she acknowledged.
Jean-Pierre continued, "And so we get it. We get that, so it's going to take a little bit of time for folks to feel what the 'Bidenomics' has been able to do. That's not something that I'm saying. That's something that economists have said, right? It takes a little bit of time. But it doesn't mean, it doesn't mean that the president is not going to continue to work."
Democrats and voters in general have soured on the "Bidenomics" messaging, as polls show the voters are unenthusiastic about the president's economic policies.
Long-time Democratic donor and Orlando attorney John Morgan said in December that the president needed to use a different term to describe his policies.
"Whoever came up with that, they don't have a place in the advertising world," Morgan said. "The average reading level in America is seventh grade, and they're thinking, 'What the f--k does that mean?'"

So, again, it is clear that Democrats have a messaging problem.
They don't think their own folks can understand their own finances.
Has she ever heard Traitor Joe when he isn't scripted and tightly controlled?
LMAO!
That is a VERY short list.
Talk to the American People?
The clown gets up there mumbles some nonsense, lies about something then turns into a human roomba and wanders around.
People unusually do sour over failed policy. Bidenomics, the southern border, etc.
Sad, yet so true and getting worse. Even left wing media who've protected him for decades are finally acknowledging Biden's obvious cognitive decline and are wondering why his family, especially Jill, don't take away his political car keys and let him retire as an "elder statesman".
If not for being allowed to hide in his basement due to Covid during the 2020 election season, I don't think that Biden could have ever become POTUS.
Traitor Joe, the Democrats and their band of misfit idiots would actually gain some respect if they called out Traitor Joe and he stepped down because of his diminished mental state. But, instead, they keep parading him around like they're in Weekend at Bernie's.
From what I read, she is right, people won't be looking at the data released or listening to the explanations of what it means, they will be looking at the bills on the kitchen table and seeing how much is coming in vs what's going out, they will pay attention to what is directly affecting them.
Hopefully someone in the Biden Administration wakes up one day and just admit that voters aren't too stupid to know what their own personal finances are no matter how the Administration spins it.
And what they see will be complete opposite of everything Traitor Joe and his band of misfit idiots are telling them.
I said that a couple months ago and the usual cheerleaders came out in force to tell me just how stupid I was. Amazing that they seem to forget that one simple statement, 'It's the economy, stupid!'. For this election Biden has his record and for the average person it's just not a good record. He continues to lose his voting block because they are finally getting fed up with the bullshit of being force-fed a losing message.
The question remains however, what else can they turn to other than to cry that democracy is on the ballot. oy!!
The hubris of a political party telling its own members that they are just too stupid and slow to understand their high-faluting economic plan!
All while expecting those poor shlubs who are too dumb to understand how successful Bidenomics is to pay for the college debts of millions of devoted Bidenistas!
Maybe it is the MIXED messaging coming from the Democratic Party that is the real problem.
Don't sell us "success" in one sentence and then demand debt relief because it is just too hard to pay off loans in the next.
Don't pretend to be the smartest folks in the room when your states are under water financially.
