On Thursday, the Commerce Department released its bellwether for the US economy– the GDP report — which showed the economy grew in the third quarter.
Remember all summer the Republicans were crowing that the economy was in a ‘recession’ because they could blame it on Biden.
“Everything about the Biden Recession was predictable — and avoidable,” House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy yowled in July. “Only Democrats in Washington chose not to see it coming.”
Now Biden can do a victory lap.
“For months, doomsayers have been arguing that the U.S. economy is in a recession and congressional Republicans have been rooting for a downturn,” Biden said. “But today we got further evidence that our economic recovery is continuing to power forward.”
Even though this is good news for the nation the GOP is only focused on winning the midterms.
