Vice President Kamala Harris has positioned herself as the change candidate but has refused to separate herself from President Biden’s economic agenda, a risky plan on display Tuesday as the president highlighted “Bidenomics,” which has proved woefully unpopular with voters.
As Ms. Harris promoted “a new way forward” as part of her presidential campaign, Mr. Biden kicked off a series of events at the White House dubbed “Investing in America.” The president spoke with citizens who have benefited from his policies.
“We’ve had one of the most extraordinary periods of progress ever in the history of this country,” Mr. Biden said. “We’ve gone from an economic crisis to the strongest economy in the world, literally. A record 16 million new jobs, record small-business growth, a record stock market, a record high 401(k), and wages are up.”
