President Biden and I have worked to build an economy where every American has the freedom to thrive.

We have created over 16 million jobs, a historic 20 million new small business applications have been filed, and unemployment has remained at record lows.

The economy has created jobs every single month President Biden and I have been in office — and last month, we added another 227,000.

On the 83rd anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, we remember the service members and civilians who were killed on that fateful day, and we recognize the bravery of those who have sacrificed to defend democracy in the days since.

For the people. Always.
