Biden said Tuesday that the US economy may see a “slight recession” but that he still believes he would “beat Donald Trump again” in 2024.
Biden denied the economy is in the midst of a recession — despite meeting the standard definition of two consecutive quarters of contraction — but acknowledged a downturn could happen in an interview on CNN.
“I don’t think there will be a recession. If it is, it’ll be a very slight recession. That is, we’ll move down slightly,” Biden told Jake Tapper in the taped, 15-minute interview.
“It is possible. Look, it’s possible. I don’t anticipate it,” Biden said.
The US gross domestic product shrank by 0.9% in the second quarter of 2022 after decreasing by 1.6% in the first quarter, but Biden aides insist that the country isn’t in a recession because of data showing historically low unemployment and the lack of dramatic business woes.
Despite economic uncertainty, Biden, who turns 80 next month, told Tapper he’s still considering running for president — something he’s consistently told allies he plans to do.
Biden said that after the Nov. 8 midterm elections “I’m going to be in the process of deciding.”
Tapper asked, “Is one of the calculations that you think you’re the only one who can beat Donald Trump?”
Biden replied, “I believe I can beat Donald Trump again.”

Oh, know we going to further re-define ‘recession’..........
Pathetic.
What does he mean “again”?
Biden, on CNN, is refusing to say the US is in a recession at this very moment. Look, obviously I can’t stand the man. Anybody that follows me knows this. But if I was on the fence about him, this would be the deciding moment to no longer support him. He cannot tell the truth.— Vote Red (@Trump2094578522) October 12, 2022
IF the Republicants win big in November, he’s done. The Rats will replace him before January so that they can pick Kommielas VP.
Feel sorry for folks on the verge of retiring...their investments have been hit hard.
Gotta beat him once to beat him again pea brain
Biden replied, “I believe I can beat Donald Trump again.”
Can the Democrats still cheat, of course they can but it is getting harder.
If the Republicans gain control of the House and Senate then Biden’s (and Harris) days are numbered.
Side note - I am not convinced Trump will run in 2024, he may decide being a “king maker” is more productive of his time, energy and money or as they say in the military being a force multiplayer.
C’mon Joe, you’re even more stupid than they say.
You couldn’t ‘beat’ a rug.
Kamalla isn’t going to be the nominee... Newsome is.
Bank on it.

They won’t come right out and say it, but the old joke seems to be coming literally true — The definition of a Recession is when Republicans control the government. Then it’s the worst economy in 50 years.
Let’s see - we’re in a recession now. It’s going to be really traumatic when it actually arrives in full force. Joe has not actually ever beat Trump.
Slight recession = “just a flesh wound”
Yeah right Joe ...
So when does the 3rd quarter GDP numbers come out?
I haven’t heard a peep about it so far this month.
We’re already in a recession, and you’ll be lucky to not be ambient temperature in November 2024...
Some people might stay a couple more years than planned.
Of course, he can beat anybody with “mules” and Dominion.
How revealing it is to see Pedo Joe so sure of himself.
Yep. Down 34% since Brandon started.
