U.S. President Joe Biden touted the country’s economic progress during a speech Thursday in Springfield, Va.
“Just this morning, we got some very good news about the American economy,” Biden told an audience consisting of members of the Steamfitters Union.
Biden was referring to Thursday’s report from the U.S. Department of Commerce, which showed the country’s gross domestic product increased by 2.9% during the fourth quarter, at an annualized pace.
“I’m not sure the news could have been any better — economic growth is up stronger than experts expected, 2.9%,” Biden said.
“I don’t think it’s unfair to say that this is all evidence that the Biden economic plan is actually working.”
The president also took aim at his Republican detractors, defending the economic progress, a week after the federal government hit its national debt limit of $31.4 trillion.
