Biden’s pitch on Friday was that his Bidenomics has been successful in small-town America.
At a firefighter training center in Allentown, Pennsylvania, Biden pointed to recent consumer sentiment data and said that people are feeling better about the economy.
"If you notice, they're feeling much better about how the economy is doing," Biden said in response to a reporter's question. "What we haven’t done is letting them know exactly who got it changed. ... Everybody's doing better and they believe it. They know it. And it's just beginning to sink in."
In 2020, Biden won the surrounding Lehigh County with 53.2% of the vote.
