“President Biden’s top advisers this week are launching a new aggressive push to tout the economy’s strength as the presidential campaign heats up, hoping to flip what has long been perceived as one of the president’s biggest political vulnerabilities into an asset,” the Washington Post reports.
“The messaging effort reflects a renewed confidence among Biden’s economic brain trust in the resilience of the U.
S. economy and the president’s stewardship, after the administration was relentlessly hammered for more than two years over high inflation and widespread predictions of an imminent recession. On Thursday, the Bureau of Economic Analysis reported that the nation’s economy grew by 2.5 percent over the course of the last year, including a robust annual rate of 3.3 percent in the most recent quarter.”
