Summary
After inheriting a tricky, post-peak-pandemic economy, the Biden administration pulled off the double-feat of stalling inflation while also keeping unemployment low. Wages have risen, and so has purchasing power. But if you ask voters, they’ll tell you the economy is terrible.
Does Biden have a messaging problem or is an economy where the price of everything still seems too high simply impossible to run on?
Guest: Annie Lowery, staff writer at the Atlantic.
