Summary

President Joe Biden touted his administration’s economic recovery efforts, citing job growth, reduced inflation, and infrastructure investments, as he prepares to hand off a strong economy to Donald Trump.

Biden criticized Trump’s proposed steep tariffs on imports, warning they could harm the economy and reintroduce inflation.

Trump plans tariffs against China, Mexico, and Canada, raising concerns about trade disruptions similar to those seen during his first term.

Economists caution that such policies could quickly reverse recent economic gains and weaken the U.S. economy.

    There was nothing wrong with Harris except seven million people who voted for Biden weren’t ready for her to become president.

    I didn’t enjoy what she did as district attorney. I would also argue if she was not electable in 2024, then she doesn’t meet the bar of a “good candidate”. Now her viability is irrelevant entirely, unless she plans to run in 2028.

      I think it is more of a reflection of the voters and non-voters.
