In the opening question of the night, President Joe Biden addressed concerns about high inflation, attributing the issue to former President Donald Trump’s handling of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Biden argued that Trump’s administration left the economy in a fragile state, necessitating significant recovery efforts.
“We had to try to put things back together,” Biden said, highlighting the challenges his administration faced upon taking office. He acknowledged that there is still work to be done, emphasizing his commitment to alleviating financial pressures for American families.
“We’re working to bring down the price around the kitchen table, and that’s what we’re going to get done,” Biden assured, signaling ongoing efforts to combat inflation and stabilize the economy.
