In a speech, Biden criticized Trump’s economic plan and expressed hope that the incoming president would build on the progress he has made.
WASHINGTON—President Joe Biden delivered a speech on Dec. 10 highlighting his economic achievements as he nears the final days of his presidency. He also expressed hope that the incoming Trump administration would “preserve and build on” his progress.
Biden delivered his remarks at the Brookings Institution in Washington, defending his economic plan, which focuses on “growing the economy from the middle out and the bottom up.”
“We got back to full employment, got inflation back down, and managed a soft landing that most people thought was not very much likely to happen,” he said.
“Most economists agree a new administration is going to inherit a fairly strong economy.”
Biden said his agenda, which prioritized investing in infrastructure and manufacturing, has not yet been fully felt by Americans but that its benefits will become more visible over the coming years.
“I know it’s been hard for many Americans to see, and I understand it,” he said.
