Biden official’s criticism of Trump so strong that it ‘led to an additional sell-off’: CNN

2020, Biden won the White House by promising a return to normality after a pandemic that delivered punishing economic blows.

He had the advantage of running against an incumbent already bearing the shame of one of his two impeachments, who kept the nation in a constant state of psychological angst with his Twitter feed, and whose musings over injecting disinfectant as a cure for Covid-19 reflected his botching of the worst public health emergency in a century.

But just as Trump was judged on his tenure in 2020, Biden must sell his own record four years later – a factor that helps explain why he is trying to improve perceptions of his handling of the economy.
