He had half the right plan with the windfall profit tax following the pandemic. *If* that had passed and *if* the government just returned the money as an increase to the EITC, he'd probably have picked up a lot of popularity.

I think he probably hurt himself also with trying to smuggle a vaccine mandate through. It might seem like a small thing now, but I'd wager that people who had to get vaccinated to keep their jobs only to have the mandate struck down a couple weeks later (as basically every legal analyst predicted) aren't going to be quick to forget or forgive.
