Biden cheers jobs numbers, asks House to get back to work

President Joe Biden welcomed job growth news released Friday, but warned of the economic consequences that would ensue if House Republicans do not pass a funding bill to prevent a government shutdown next month.

“The unemployment rate has stayed below 4% for 20 months in a row, the longest stretch in 50 years,” Biden said at the White House.

“It’s no accident — it’s Bidenomics,” said the Democratic president, who is seeking reelection next year.
