During Tuesday’s White House press conference, deputy press secretary Olivia Dalton defended Presiden Biden’s economic record, despite a number of recent polls indicating Americans aren’t feeling the lift of the Biden economy.
Dalton insisted “Bidenomics” was “incredibly popular.”
“Well, what I would say is that the president’s economic policies are incredibly popular. When you ask people what they think about investing in our roads, bridges and airports, what you – when you ask people what they think about educating and empowering workers, when you ask people about how they feel about reshoring, manufacturing jobs and investing in America, those things are incredibly popular.”
“And we find that when we go out and we talk to people about it, they support Bidenomics. And so that’s exactly what the president is going to be doing in Chicago tomorrow. That’s exactly why we’re talking to Americans about everything that he’s doing to make sure that we grow the economy by growing the middle class and give people the support that they need to grow our economy for us,” she added.
Conservative voices on Twitter didn’t agree with Dalton’s assessment, asking who are these people that think the Biden economy is working?
Media commentator Mitch Roschelle remarked, “Government spending on infrastructure projects that haven’t happened are NOT popular and how exactly does this help the middle class when we already have a shortage of construction workers?”

“Biden spokeswoman Olivia Dalton just said, ‘Biden’s economic policies are incredibly popular!’ No they’re not. Democrats are only good at one thing…lying with a straight face,” actress Pamela Hensley wrote.
“Like 26 straight months of negative real weekly wage growth???” economist Tony Sanders declared.
