“Inflation has fallen every month for the last six months. Our takehome pay has gone up,” Biden, 80, said while failing to note how inflation has undermined the buying power of any hikes.

The speech gave Biden, 80, a chance to demonstrate his energy and highlight issues he would likely bring up on the campaign trail.
