US President Joe Biden claimed to be his predecessorDonald Trumphe is one of the few presidents who destroyed jobs during his tenure.
“It hasn’t been long since we’ve been losing jobs in this country. In fact, the guy who took the position before me was one of the two presidents in history that he left office with fewer jobs than when he took office,” said the president.
On Monday, Biden participated in an event with union leaders to commemorate Labor Day, which is celebrated in the United States on the first Monday in September.
The event took place in the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, a key location for the 2024 presidential election in which Biden wants to run, as the candidate of the Democratic Party.
Although she didn’t call him by namefor calling him “the guy who was in the position before me”Biden had several attacks on Trump (2017-2021), who is called the biggest rival in the election contest, despite four criminal charges against him.
“We’re changing things because the last man that was here was sending jobs to China, and now we’re bringing jobs back home from China,” Biden said of the Republican, the front-runner for his party’s nominee in next year’s election. .
The strength and resilience of the American labor market is one of the main reasons for President Biden’s pride, and low unemployment (3.8% in August, according to the latest official data) will likely become one of the axes of his future campaign.
since he arrived to the White House in January 2021, he recalled today, created 800,000 new jobs in the manufacturing sector.
In his speech, Biden referred to those people “who do not pay their taxes”. “You can be a millionaire or a billionaire, but pay your taxes, pay your taxes!” He stated, speaking directly about Trump, that he has had some legal problems in recent months over his personal finances or the taxation of his companies.
The American president, the first 80-year-old to occupy the White House, also referred to the constant controversy surrounding his old age: “They say that Biden is an old man, but, guess what, what comes with time is wisdom.”
Just this Monday, The Wall Street Journal publishes a poll confirming that voters overwhelmingly think Biden is “too old to apply” for re-election. 73% believe it is so, while only 36% think they are mentally prepared to present.
