While giving his speech, Biden slammed the Trump economy and hyped the “Bidenomics” that he claimed were responsible for record “job creation.”

“And it wasn’t that long ago, we’re losing jobs in this country,” he went on. “In fact, the guy who held his job before me was just one of two presidents in history — but here’s an important point — one of two presidents left office with fewer jobs in America than when he got elected office.”
