Biden jests about impeachment due to declining inflation.
President Biden Takes a Swipe at House Republicans During Maine Speech
President Joe Biden delivered a fiery speech in Maine, where he addressed House Republicans considering an impeachment inquiry into his presidency. Speaking at a local factory in Auburn, the president championed American manufacturing and his economic policies, which he dubbed “Bidenomics.”
“Republicans may have to find something else to criticize me for now that inflation is coming down,” he boldly stated. “Maybe they’ll decide to impeach me because it’s coming down. I don’t know.”
Inflation has significantly dropped from 9.1% last June to 3% this month, providing a boost for Biden as he gears up for a potential second term. When he assumed office, the figure stood at just 1.4%.
This remark also serves as a direct response to Republican discussions in Congress about launching an impeachment inquiry into the Biden family’s foreign business dealings during his tenure as vice president. While House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) has hinted at a future inquiry, the party remains divided on the matter.
The White House vehemently denies any business involvement between President Biden and his son Hunter.
Biden chose to deliver his speech at Auburn Manufacturing, a female-owned firm in Maine, as part of his broader campaign to promote his “Made in America” agenda. The president is actively courting union voters and has pledged to increase domestic production.
“Instead of exporting American jobs, we’re creating American jobs and exporting American products again,” Biden passionately declared. “That’s how we make money.”
He contrasted this approach with the past, highlighting how manufacturing jobs were outsourced, leading to the decline of towns across the country. According to Biden, Maine alone lost approximately 45,000 manufacturing jobs between 1990 and 2010.
In what may have been a slip of the tongue, Biden referred to himself as the most pro-labor senator in America, despite serving as a senator from Delaware for several decades. Nevertheless, he assured the audience that taxpayer dollars would be invested in domestically made products by American workers.
“Every federal infrastructure project will be built by American workers using American products, creating American jobs,” he proclaimed, eliciting applause.
Republicans argue that factors such as declining real wages and rising interest rates undermine the Biden economy, while the president remains steadfast in his promise of continued improvement as he seeks reelection.
“I’m not here to declare victory on the economy. We have more work to do,” Biden humbly acknowledged. “Bidenomics is just another way of saying we’re restoring the American dream.”
