In a recent address, President Biden highlighted the significant economic recovery achieved during his administration, emphasizing the creation of nearly 16 million new jobs since taking office, with 390,000 of those in Michigan alone. He underscored the importance of the working class and unions in building the nation, asserting that they are the backbone of the economy.
Biden, who made history as the first sitting president to walk a picket line, expressed his unwavering support for labor, stating, \"When labor does well, everybody does well.\" He contrasted his administration's achievements with those of former President Donald Trump, pointing out that under Trump, the country lost 86,000 union jobs, while his own policies have led to the creation of 275,000 auto jobs.
The President also addressed inflation, noting a recent decline in prices for essential goods such as cars and groceries, attributing this progress to his economic plan. He reiterated his commitment to combating corporate greed, stating, \"I'm not anti-corporation, but I'm anti-greed,\" and called for continued efforts to ensure that the benefits of economic growth are shared more equitably among all Americans.
Biden's remarks reflect a broader strategy to bolster support among labor unions and working-class voters as he prepares for future political challenges.
