Biden says he was 'stupid' not to put his name on pandemic relief checks like Trump did
US BIDEN ECONOMIC LEGACY 20241210cr_1920x1080.jpg
President Joe Biden delivered a speech Tuesday defending his economic legacy while challenging Donald Trump to "build on" the progress and preserve some of Biden's policy ideas upon the Republican's return to the White House in January.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden said Tuesday he was “stupid” not to put his own name on pandemic relief checks in 2021, noting that Donald Trump had done so in 2020 and likely got credit for helping people out through this simple, effective act of branding. Biden did the second-guessing as he delivered a speech at the Brookings Institution defending his economic record and challenging Trump to preserve Democratic policy ideas when he returns to the White House next month. As Biden focused on his legacy with his term ending, he suggested Trump should keep the Democrats' momentum going and ignore the policies of his allies.
