“Today, the U.S. has had the highest economic growth among the world’s leading economies since the pandemic. We’ve added over 13 million jobs, more jobs in two years than any President has added in a four-year term,” the president will say, according to excerpts of his address released by the White House.
“And folks, that’s no accident. That’s Bidenomics in action.”
