President Trump held a Labor Day press conference from the White House to discuss the economic comeback from COVID-19, and the rollout of a potential vaccine. The president touted the jobs report, boasting 10.6 million jobs created in a four-month period, and the declining unemployment rate.
He warned about the economic repercussions of a Biden-Harris administration; the pair has vowed to repeal the monumental Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, from which middle-class income brackets overwhelmingly benefited.
