Biden Touts Job Growth But Voters Still Squeezed By High Inflation
- US economy recovering post-pandemic, but high inflation means most people not feeling improvement in personal finances
- Biden to campaign on economy, boasting of job creation numbers, but admitting more work needed on costs
- Consumer confidence and spending still weighed down by high prices not seen pre-pandemic
- “Bidenomics” policies may boost economy long-term but benefits unlikely to reach many voters by election
- Biden campaign now less focused on touting economic record, instead attacking Trump as threat to democracy
