Trouble For Biden In The Tar Heel State

Today Biden Visits The Tar Heel State, Where He Is Deeply Unpopular And North Carolinians Are Paying The Price For His Failed Policies

NORTH CAROLINIANS REJECT BIDEN

• Today, Biden heads to Greensboro, North Carolina to deliver remarks on the skyrocketing inflation plaguing the nation.
  • This comes as a new report from the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco found that Biden’s radical policies have fueled inflation.
  • Even Biden’s own economic team “isn’t disputing” that his $1.9 trillion stimulus “contributed to inflation.”
• Biden plans to “fix” rising prices by spending even more, which numerous economists have warned would lead to higher inflation and will make life harder for middle and lower-class Americans.
• North Carolinians reject Biden’s economic agenda, as his approval rating falls to a dismal 35 percent in the state.

BIDENFLATION IS HURTING NORTH CAROLINIANS

• Under Biden, worsening inflation is making it increasingly difficult for North Carolinians to make ends meet.
  • Last month, the average gas price in North Carolina hit a new record high of $4.19 a gallon.
• Nationally, March’s Consumer Price Index surged by 8.5 percent compared to last year.
  • North Carolina has seen costs rise faster than the national average, with consumer prices in the south rising by 9.1 percent since last year.
  • Inflation is costing the average North Carolina family $490 per month according to an estimate from Congress’ Joint Economic Committee.
• North Carolina families across the state are feeling the “pinch” of Bidenflation.
  • McArthur Clemons from Raleigh said, “Everything is expensive. Everything… The essentials came over $100 and I only got 30 items. That's out of the ordinary for essentials.”
  • A mother from Charlotte resorted to a local food pantry to feed her children, saying “It’s devastating. Right now times [are] so hard to feed my kids.” 
  • Some North Carolina parents overwhelmed with the rising costs of raising their children have been forced to “shift their spending.”

BIDEN AND ROY COOPER HAVE LEFT NORTH CAROLINIANS STRUGGLING

• Under Biden and Governor Roy Cooper’s Democrat leadership, North Carolinians are seeing a stagnant recovery that is leaving too many workers and small businesses behind.

• In January, automotive parts maker DENSO Manufacturing, announced they will close their Greenville plant putting nearly 500 people out of work.

DEMOCRATS’ SOFT ON CRIME POLICIES ARE COSTING LIVES

• Biden’s open border agenda is fueling a nationwide opioid crisis that’s costing North Carolinians their lives.
• Last year, North Carolina experienced nearly 4,000 overdose deaths, a 26 percent increase from 2020, as the U.S. continues to experience a surge in overdoses and opioid deaths.
  • Last month, Randolph County deputies seized enough fentanyl from one person to kill 390,000 North Carolinians.
• Democrats’ soft on crime policies are also putting North Carolinians in danger.
