Christie slams Biden over inflation-riddled economy.
Republican Candidate Chris Christie Blames President Biden for Economic Woes
Republican 2024 presidential candidate Chris Christie has pointed fingers at President Joe Biden for the current state of the economy, boldly labeling him as “the Jimmy Carter of the 2020s.”
The former New Jersey governor passionately argues that the market is currently witnessing a staggering 17% increase in prices since Biden took office in January 2021. Additionally, Christie highlights that interest rates have reached a 25-year high. According to Christie, these economic challenges have made it increasingly difficult for Americans to invest in major life purchases, such as cars and homes.

“This guy is the Jimmy Carter of the 2020s,” exclaimed Christie during a recent appearance on CNN. “And his inflation, don’t just take my word for it: Democratic economist and former treasury secretary to Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, has explicitly stated that Joe Biden is responsible for this inflation through his excessive spending.”
Christie proudly highlights his own experience in handling a troubled economy during his tenure as governor. He emphasizes that he successfully balanced the budget without raising taxes. According to the former New Jersey governor, fixing the U.S. economy is indeed possible, but it requires someone “who knows how to do it.”
Christie’s remarks come in the wake of a decline in inflation, which fell to a 3% annual rate in June, as measured by the Federal Reserve’s preferred gauge. This marks a 0.8 percentage point decrease from the previous month and the lowest reading since September 2021.

President Biden himself jokingly acknowledged the falling inflation this week, suggesting that it might catch the attention of Republicans in Congress. This jest comes amidst growing speculation that Republicans in Congress may attempt to impeach Biden.
A recent poll revealed that 72.5% of likely voters believe that the United States is experiencing cultural and economic decline, while only 21.6% disagree. When broken down by political affiliation, 91.7% of Republicans share this belief, compared to 5.8% who do not. Among Democrats, 50.7% perceive the country to be in decline, while 38.3% do not.
