WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden’s economic troubles stand to get even worse as the sweeping Covid lockdowns in China begin to ripple through the U.S. economy.
For Biden and Democrats looking to hold on to control of Congress, the upheaval in China adds one more economic pressure point ahead of the midterm elections, with voters saying the economy and inflation are their top concerns. What's more, officials in Washington fear it's a problem largely out of their control.
While Biden has no control over China’s widespread lockdowns, Republicans plan to blame him for any worsening economic conditions ahead of the midterm elections, said a national GOP strategist working on House campaigns. The strategist described the lockdowns as a “China time bomb.”
Biden has already been struggling to cope with surging gas and food prices as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which have come on top of already high prices for cars, housing and travel. Inflation has hit its highest level in 40 years, and even before China’s lockdowns, administration officials were warning it could persist at those high levels throughout the rest of the year and potentially 2023.

Everyone else’s fault
Its not hard to believe China’s Covid lockdown is causing a headache for Biden’s personal finances.
Xi and Putin are conspiring against Biden and the Democratic Party!
Lockdown, lockdown, lock-lock-lockdown!
Not a single word on what "variant" they claim to be detecting or what it's symptoms (if any) actually are.
His zero-Covid policy throughout the country is a fallacy, that will never happen.
So no variant, impossible goals and physical threats, what is xi really doing?
Just a bunch of drones in little blue overalls, mask, gloves etc running around to give a visual illusion that the scamdemic is still going on?
.
You forgot the (D) after their names. Shannon Pettypiece (D), Jonathan Allen (D) and Allan Smith (D). They went out of their way in defense of the Biden Administration and the Democrat party. You can at least show them their due recognition.
Everyone else’s fault”
Right. if we go by NBC News / Comcast poor Joe would be the greatest President ever were it not for all of these things out of his control
Yet, somehow that supposed empty-suit Donald Trump was managing these problems extremely well. Prior to the covid pandemic in fall, 2019, we saw how well this country could function with a true visionary and accomplished executive. In 2016, I was adamant that Donald Trump should not be President but in three years, he won me over totally.
