The latest economic figures are some of the best of President
Biden’s tenure so far. It appears increasingly likely that the
United States has managed to tame high inflation without causing
a recession.

Jim Tankersley, who covers economic policy for The Times,

positive data hasn’t translated into a bump in President Biden’s
popularity.

Guest: Jim Tankersley, a White House correspondent for The New
York Times.
