Economic Performance Under Biden

Inflation and Media Reporting

• 📉 This is a significant improvement from the record high of 9% inflation experienced under the previous administration.
• 🗣️ Leavitt criticizes media outlets, including CNN, for not reporting on economic improvements and for pushing untrue narratives about the president.
