White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre recently criticized Republican politicians for wanting to negotiate lifting the debt ceiling. She asserted that President Biden’s economy “works for everyone and leaves no one behind.”
However, recent polling data suggests that Americans do not agree with this sentiment. According to an ABC News/Washington Post poll, 41% of Americans say they are worse off under Biden’s presidency, while only 16% say they are better off.
Republicans remain skeptical of Biden’s economic policies and are open to having a conversation on how to lower the deficit while ensuring that Social Security and Medicare are not cut. While Jean-Pierre emphasizes that the president’s upcoming budget will prioritize growing the economy from the bottom up, Republicans are questioning whether this will truly benefit all Americans.
It is clear that there is a divide between Republicans and the Biden administration when it comes to the economy. Republicans remain committed to fighting for a better economic future for all Americans.
