Democrats are attacking Elon Musk, not his mission: Sarah Bedford
The article discusses the Democratic Party’s strategy of focusing on personal attacks against Elon Musk instead of addressing the objectives of the Department of Government Efficiency, as stated by Sarah Bedford, Investigations Editor at the *Washington Examiner*.Bedford suggests that this approach is a calculated messaging tactic aimed at exploiting Musk’s unpopularity among independent voters. Recent polling indicates that 53% of people disapprove of Musk’s role as head of the Department of Government efficiency, while 61% favor governmental downsizing, signaling that the Democrats lack considerable policies to propose and resort to targeting Musk.The intention,Bedford argues,is to find a platform to criticize figures like Donald Trump,whose actions have been gaining support.
Democrats are attacking Elon Musk, not his mission: Sarah Bedford
Democrats’ focus on attacking Elon Musk rather than the mission of the Department of Government Efficiency is a messaging strategy, according to Washington Examiner Investigations Editor Sarah Bedford.
“It’s interesting to note that you don’t see Democrats going after what Elon Musk and DOGE are doing nearly as much as they’re going after Elon Musk himself because this is simply a messaging tactic,” Bedford told Fox Business’s The Evening Edit.
Democratic polling released this week suggests Musk is not popular with independent voters, and Democrats are trying to capitalize on that, she said.
At least 53% of people do not approve and 39% approve of the billionaire’s position as head of the DOGE, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday.
However, 61% of people support downsizing the government, a Reuters/Ipsos poll revealed.
“Cutting foreign aid, cutting spending is popular, and so all Democrats really have right now is to go after Elon Musk personally,” Beford said.
“They’re really just trying to go after, to find some foothold to go after, Donald Trump because so much of what Donald Trump has been doing over the past couple of weeks of his presidency is popular,” she added.
