We already know one component of the Biden campaign's reelection strategy, and that's to hope like crazy that most Americans haven't been grocery shopping in the last two and a half years. Karine Jean-Pierre's latest helped keep Community Notes busy:
Karine Jean-Pierre (@PressSec) ~ This Thanksgiving, we’re seeing important progress on inflation, with prices lower for:
⬇️ Thanksgiving dinner
⬇️ Gas
⬇️ Airline tickets
⬇️ Car rentals
⬇️ Toys
⬇️ TVs

Readers added context:
This claim compares prices to last year, a point in the middle of Biden's term. Even then, food prices are not lower as claimed.

Compared to the beginning of Biden's term, all prices remain significantly higher. Gas, for example, remains up 36% since Biden took office.

Lying like crazy about how the economy is doing and hoping everybody's stupid is one Biden campaign strategy, and Byron York spotted another:
Byron York (@ByronYork) ~ Major component of Biden re-election pitch: I gave you money.
The White House (@WhiteHouse) ~ Student Debt Relief Update:
Around 813,000 student borrowers received an email from the President today confirming student loan forgiveness – thanks to the Biden-Harris Administration’s actions.
"Actions taken by the Biden Administration" = actions ruled by the Supreme Court to be UNCONSTITUTIONAL that consisted of STEALING money from other Americans to give to you as a bribe for your future vote
"To make sure you receive the relief you earned and deserve" = YOU took out a loan, received the money, and spent it ... and now you do not want to pay back what you legally owe to the lender. YOU have earned and deserve nothing more than a swift kick in the ass for being a deadbeat. Please tell me exactly how you have "earned and deserve" relief from paying back what you legally owe?!
Ah yes, the "free stuff" promise that's time-honored amongst many politicians, especially Biden and his former boss Barack Obama.
Giving away somebody else's money and taking credit for the philanthropy is a specialty for Biden and the Democrats.
Biden's hoping the promise is enough. When that fails to come to fruition they blame the Supreme Court and Republicans for people not getting their promised freebies and payoffs.
