Biden Reflects on Economic Legacy, Regrets Not Signing Pandemic Checks

In a speech at the Brookings Institution, President Biden expressed regret for not signing pandemic relief checks during his term, unlike former President Trump. He defended his economic record, which includes the creation of 16 million jobs and significant investments, while cautioning against Trump's potential economic policies, including proposed tax cuts and tariffs. Biden warned that these could harm consumers and revive failed 'trickle-down' economics. He urged Trump to maintain the current economic progress and criticized his allies' Project 2025 as a potential economic disaster.
