The Washington Examiner’s Byron York noted that President Joe Biden’s rhetoric concerning the economy is not resonating with the public.

“You can’t talk of an economy that feels bad for people,” York told Special Report with Bret Baier. “And the price of food, and the price of housing, and the scarcity of housing are something that are making — those are very fundamental things that everybody has to have. And they’re still making people feel bad.”

York’s comments come as the Bureau of Economic Analysis announced Friday that inflation rose to a 2.5% annual rate in February, which was one-tenth of a percentage point from the previous reading.

York confirmed the sentiment of recent Fox polling that showed people do not believe they are better off today than they were four years ago.

“Almost everybody, a large majority says, ‘No, we’re not,’” York added. “President Biden can talk all he wants, but he just can’t overcome that feeling that people have.”
