The US economy is struggling which is making it “difficult” for voters to hear President Joe Biden speak on finances and international aid packages, explains former White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney. 

“Inflation continues to be an issue in this country while we are doing better than the rest of the world – that is really not what Americans want,” Mr Mulvaney told Sky News Australia host James Morrow. 

“They don’t care if they are doing better than somebody else – they want to help the economy. 

“They want low gas prices and low food prices and, right now, they are not getting that. 

“It really makes it difficult for Joe Biden to talk about the economy.”
