The Trump campaign is calling Vice President Kamala Harris President Biden’s “co-pilot” in the “Bidenomics” that led to the poor July jobs numbers, which brought the unemployment rate in the U.S. to the highest level in nearly three years.
The U.S. Department of Labor on Friday reported that employers added 114,000 jobs in July, missing the 175,000 gain forecast by LSEG economists. The unemployment rate also unexpectedly inched higher to 4.3% against expectations that it would hold steady at 4.1%.
It marked the highest level for the jobless rate since October 2021.
“Kamala Harris has proudly and repeatedly celebrated her role as Joe Biden’s co-pilot on ‘Bidenomics'”, Trump campaign national press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Friday. “She cast tie-breaking votes in the Senate for spending that put inflation on steroids, and despite the evidence that America’s working families are hurting, she tells us these failed plans are working.
