Biden claims inflation was 9% when he came into office — when it actually was 1.4%
 [NYPOST] President Biden claimed Wednesday that voters were wrong to blame him for high inflation because it "was 9% when I came to office" — when in fact it actually was just 1.4%.
...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for... ’s Erin Burnett in a rare interview. The 81-year-old president defended his economic policies after Burnett pressed him on the fact that "voters by a wide margin trust [former President Donald] Trump more on the economy." Biden insisted ahead of his November rematch against Trump that he already "turned around" the economy, despite persistently high inflation and interest rates. Inflation crept up shortly after Biden took office before surging to rates unseen since the early 1980s, peaking at an annual rate of 9.1% in June 2022 — 17 months after he took office. Inflation has remained stubbornly high at an annual rate of 3.5% as of March.
