Why Voters Didn’t Buy the ‘Biden Boom’ | E.J. Antoni, PhD

While official statistics showed strong economic growth during Joe Biden’s presidency, they masked the fact that regular Americans were actually struggling as prices skyrocketed and paychecks lost value.

EJ Antoni, The Heritage Foundation’s chief economist, explains how under President Donald Trump’s second term, GDP growth has slowed due to cuts in government spending. Living standards, however, are rising once again as the private sector expands.

“Why did Americans return Mr. Trump to the White House with not only a sizable electoral college win but hand him every swing state and the popular vote—something a Republican hadn’t received in two decades? The only viable explanation… is that the official statistics weren’t reflecting how the average American voter was doing financially.”
