WASHINGTON – Today, Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel released the following statement on the May jobs report:
"In Biden’s economy, families are forced to pay more for travel, gas, and groceries while seeing their paychecks shrink because of Bidenflation. Biden’s reckless spending and failed policies put hardworking Americans last and voters squarely blame Biden and the Democrats for the harm they are causing struggling families across the country."
Background:
- Americans are struggling to afford basic goods as their paychecks continue to shrink.
- Overall wage growth is slowing while inflation remains high, meaning workers are seeing a massive pay cut under Biden.
- U.S. average gas prices currently sit at $3.57 per gallon which is more than $1.00 higher than when Biden became president.
- The American people have told us what their economic reality is, and it’s not good:
- 83% say the economic situation of the nation is negative.
- Almost 80% of Americans say Biden’s policies have not helped them, with almost half saying that Biden’s policies are actively hurting their family.
- Despite Biden’s attempts to downplay his failures, American are not fooled; they know Biden’s to blame.
