At A Labor Day Event in Philadelphia, Biden Highlights His Accomplishments

The economy, according to the White House, is steadily improving. Voters aren’t buying it, despite President Joe Biden’s repeated mentions of lowering inflation and robust job growth in speeches.

With an appearance at the Tri-State Labor Day event parade in Philadelphia on Monday, Biden leaned into his economic achievements once more.

In the recent published article by Politico, he told the crowd at the Tri-State Labor Day event packed with union workers that America had “the strongest economy in the world,” citing the “nearly 13.5 million jobs” he credits his administration with producing. For months, the president and members of his Cabinet have crisscrossed the country to preach what they have called “Bidenomics,” and in preparation for the Labor Day event, Biden has pushed that message even harder.

On Sunday, before the Labor Day event in Philadelphia, the president wrote in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that unemployment was “below 4% for the longest stretch in 50 years,” that wages and job satisfaction were up, and that inflation was “near its lowest point in over two years.” On Friday, after the release of a jobs report showing employers added 187,000 jobs in August, he boasted that America was in “one of the strongest job-creating periods in our history.”

However, according to a Wall Street Journal poll issued Monday, Biden’s proselytizing has had little effect on Americans. The poll, which was conducted among 1,500 registered voters from August 24 to 30, had a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 2.5 percentage points. It indicated that 59% disapprove of Biden’s handling of the economy, while 37% approve. As per to the poll, 63% disapprove of the president’s handling of inflation and rising costs, while 34% favor.
