U.S. economy grew annual 6.5 percent between April and June, marking full recovery from the pandemic




The U.S. economy was officially back and fully recovered from the pandemic as of June, although a recent surge in covid cases could threaten new uncertainty ahead.

The economy grew at an annual rate of 6.5 percent in the quarter ending in June, below expectations, as coronavirus vaccinations and unleashed consumer spending added momentum to the recovery. For the first time since the pandemic took hold, economic output eclipsed its pre-pandemic high, after adjusting for inflation.

Joe Biden might not be the hero America deserves but he's the hero it needs.

I know it missed the predictions, but that is a huge number and getting the economy back to before the Pandemic is a big touch stone Joe can point to.
