CNN —President Joe Biden swiped at renewed impeachment talk by top Republicans as he sold his agenda in Maine on Friday, suggesting his economic record was a threat to opponents.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy this week escalated talk of launching an impeachment inquiry into Biden and his family’s business dealings, prompting some backlash from moderate Republicans.
The White House has dismissed the prospect, suggesting the president was focused on his economic agenda and not threats from Republicans.
The White House said the state lost more than 42,000 manufacturing jobs between 1990 and January 2021.
The visit comes after a week of positive economic news the White House says is the result of the president’s decision-making.
