Landrieu: Biden Has ‘Turned the Country Around and Created One of the Strongest Economic Recoveries’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
BLITZER: “As you know, despite these very very positive signs that recent Wall Street Journal poll of seven key battleground states that were likely determine the winner of the election. Showed this voters and all seven of those states said they believe Donald Trump is best able to handle the economy. So if we‘re in the middle of an economic comeback here in the United States as the president says, why do voters seem to prefer Trump on this issue of the economy?”
LANDRIEU: “Well Wolf, first of all, thanks for having me. Secondly, please don’t ever let me follow Sir Charles Barkley, who is a genius and smart and knows more about basketball than anybody will ever know and be careful about watching the final four because Kaitlan Collins CNN fame, as you know, is an Alabama fan. So we‘ll all be watching it. Secondly, let me say this let‘s not skate over what the top line is here. President Biden took office with one of the great economic calamities in the history of the country. In three short years, has now turned the country around and created one of the strongest economic recoveries that we‘ve seen, 15 million jobs as people may recall, because some people seem to have forgotten, Donald Trump lost 2.5 million jobs. As you’ve noted, we‘ve now had the lowest unemployment in America since 1960s, 3.8% wages are going up, jobs are going up. I‘m an Arizona today talking about these investments and the thousands of high-paying jobs that they creating. Listen, we‘ve always said this was going to be a tough election. We are still some significant away away from Election Day. We‘re going to keep pushing really, really hard to make sure people know where these jobs came from. We are going to continue to talk about it. People will be reminded about what the economy was like when Donald Trump, was an office. Because right now Joe Biden is outpacing him by very, very, very large numbers.”
