The White House said in a statement that the Biden-Harris administration is among the most successful in history, just weeks after Vice President Kamala Harris was soundly defeated by President-elect Donald Trump in the 2024 election.

President Biden and Harris took office amid the COVID-19 pandemic and a “reeling” economy, the email that was distributed on Monday emphasized. As the message continued, it called their government “one of the most successful administrations in history” and said it “will be leaving behind the best economy in the world.”

“Under President Biden and Vice President Harris’ leadership, 16 million jobs have been created, and we’ve gotten women and people of color back in the labor force at record rates,” the memo stated. “A record 20 million new business applications have been filed, and inflation is down to near pre-pandemic levels.”

The White House added that “our success” in these areas was due to “passing and implementing legislation that rebuilt our nation’s infrastructure, made the largest investment in climate action in history, lowered prescription drug costs, and spurred a manufacturing renaissance.”

The memo quotes unnamed “business leaders” calling the U.S. economy “among the best-performing economies” in decades.

“The latest jobs report released earlier this month, however, appears to show a different story. The Labor Department report shows that just 12,000 jobs were created in October, far below estimates of up to 120,000, and were the lowest in four years. The unemployment rate was 4.1%, in line with expectations,” Fox News reported.

“The cumulative effect of inflation has continued to weigh on many Americans. The Labor Department’s inflation report for October found that the consumer price index — a broad measure of how much everyday goods like gasoline, groceries and rent cost — was up 2.6% from a year ago for the U.S. as a whole, in line with expectations as inflation ticked higher amid a broader cooling trend,” the outlet added.

Karoline Leavitt, the national press secretary for the Trump campaign, noted a few days before the presidential election: “This jobs report is a catastrophe and definitively reveals how badly Kamala Harris broke our economy.”

The vote totals on election day seemed to reflect a referendum on the Biden-Harris administration’s policies, reflecting the will of the American people.

With 312 electoral votes to Harris’ 226 and more than 2 million more votes in the popular vote, Trump easily defeated Harris.
The White House announced this week that President Joe Biden and his wife, First Lady Jill Biden, will attend President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration on January 20.

Before the election, Biden stated that he would be present, regardless of the outcome. White House spokesperson Andrew Bates confirmed on Monday, while he was aboard Air Force One, that Biden and the First Lady will be present at the inauguration.

“The president promised that he would attend the inauguration of whomever won the election,” Bates said. “He and the first lady are going to honor that promise and attend the inauguration. He views that as an important demonstration of commitment to our democratic values, and to honoring the will of the people, as we continue to provide an orderly and effective transition.”

White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients has had many meetings with Susie Wiles, who will soon take over as Chief of Staff of the White House.

After her devastating blowout loss to Trump, Vice President Kamala Harris and Second Husband Doug Emhoff retreated to Hawaii for a vacation — but insiders have revealed something more.

Those who know Harris best say they believe she’s already plotting a comeback to the campaign trail, perhaps as a Democratic presidential contender in 2028.

“Of course, she’s going to try and run again,” one insider told DailyMail.com, citing Harris’ enduring ambition.

Polls indicate that Harris is currently the frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2028. A Puck News/Echelon Insights survey shows Harris leading with 41 percent support among Democrats, while other potential candidates lag in single digits.

However, the same poll revealed that 59 percent of Democrats prefer to look beyond Harris in their search for a leader to guide the party out of its political challenges.
