out of poverty. I’m sure a lot of people FELT better off.

As election approached, we quit talking about all the people living “paycheck to paycheck,” etc., because we were claiming economy was great. I do think Biden’s economy was better than trump’s for the country, enough people just didn’t feel it.

I know most GOPers use that as an excuse because they are racist, bigoted haters. But people who were really swing voters, appeared to believe things were better in 2019.
