Stephanie Cutter, a former deputy campaign manager for Obama, stated on Sunday that President Joe Biden’s record inflation will be a “huge statistic” in the midterm elections, but she disregarded multiple crises hitting Americans while supporting Biden’s “leadership,” stating he was moving the country “forward,” Fox News informed.
During an appearance on ABC News’ “This Week,” Cutter was outlining Biden’s accomplishments when she said that the US has improved under Biden “by any criterion, excluding inflation.”
She said that the president has a plan to deal with the inflation adding that everyone saw the fast reaction with the baby formula shortage. She also said that the President is also in charge of Ukraine, bringing the whole world together and re-establishing alliances in the face of autocratic regimes like Putin’s.
Cutter appeared to ignore some of the other key crises that Americans have experienced in the recent months as a result of the Biden administration’s inaction, including the surge of violent crime in some big U.S. cities and the continuous border crisis between the United States and Mexico.
According to a report published by Fox News Digital last month, the number of illegal immigrants in the United States surged by about 1 million in Biden administration’s first year.
Last summer’s failed Afghan withdrawal was also overlooked by the Democratic consultant.
Cutter’s remarks about Biden’s “leadership” come just days after Energy Secretary of Biden, Jennifer Granholm dismissed claims that high gas prices are the result of President’s policies, which include the cancellation of the Keystone pipeline and a60-day moratorium on all new oil and gas lease agreements on federal lands and waters.
Granholm also shrugged off a topic about consumers being concerned about rising petrol prices late last year.
Cutter’s remarks follow the Labor Department’s announcement earlier this month that consumer price index, a measure of the price of everyday commodities such as gasoline, food, and rents, climbed 8.3 percent in April from the previous year.
The rate fell for the very first time in months on an annual basis, down from an 8.5 percent increase in March, but it grew more than predicted as supply chain restrictions, the Russian war in Ukraine, and robust consumer demand kept consumer prices near a 40-year high.
As the president’s support ratings plunge to record lows less than six months before the midterm elections, the Biden administration has been trying to downplay the risk of the country sliding into recession.
