Biden takes a victory lap on economy in surprise visit to White House briefing room

Source: newsbreak.com



By Selina Wang, 1 hours ago

President Joe Biden chose to surprise the White House press corps and come to the briefing room for the first time just months before the end of his presidency.

You could hear gasps as the president walked in.

"Hey, folks. My name's Joe Biden . Welcome to the swimming pool," he said, a reference to the indoor pool just below reporters' feet that was converted in 1970 to become the briefing room.

His appearance came after a splashy 24 hours of good economic news: the end of a major port strike and a strong jobs report that exceeded expectations.

I never liked the ‘four peaks’ pocket square fold. Just too ‘Mad Men’ for me. I like a poofy look for my pocket square. Or if I’m in black tie, or otherwise need a more conservative look, the Presidential fold.

But President Biden looks superb! He always does. It’s a shame that TFG never moved past his ‘a gorilla slept in this suit’ look. But I suppose the rubes out in Squalor Holler would have objected if he looked a little more put-together.
