Joe Biden demanded today that reporters start writing better articles about his economy in a press conference to tout that inflation dropped below 3 percent this month. Prices are still high, but inflation has slowed to 2.9% for the first time since 2021.
A reporter asked about inflation and Biden said “My policies are working. Start writing that way, okay?”

It’s not the first time Biden demanded this of the press. He’s constantly complained about the coverage he’s been getting on the economy since 2021.
But it’s no coincidence that the economy might begin getting better with the election a few months away. Democrats want to win so they take the foot off the gas with their Green New Deal policies.
