The visit coincided with announcements of mass layoffs by major companies like Citigroup, Amazon, and Google.
Despite the negative reception, Biden joked about working for the governor and senator as he visited the Nowhere Coffee Co. with Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and Sen. Bob Casey.
During a visit to a firefighter training center in Allentown, Biden defended his economic plan, stating that recent consumer sentiment data indicated an improved perception of the economy.
He claimed that people are feeling better and that his administration has yet to communicate effectively about the positive changes.

Biden emphasized the success of Bidenomics in small-town America, trying to convey that the economy is improving and that people are recognizing it.
The president’s visit to Pennsylvania, a swing state that he won in 2020 with 53.2% of the vote in Lehigh County, took place amidst a backdrop of public discontent and layoffs by major corporations. Despite the vocal opposition during the visit, Biden remained focused on his economic message and the positive impact he believes his policies are having on the country.
