President Biden says his administration has created 800,000 manufacturing jobs

AND TONIGHT, WE’RE TAKING A LOOK AT ONE CLAIM BY PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN. WE MIGHT NOT HAVE SEEN PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN CAMPAIGNING IN NEW HAMPSHIRE THIS PRIMARY SEASON AFTER THE DUST UP WITH THE DNC, BUT HIS WRITE IN CAMPAIGN IS OUT IN FULL FORCE. THIS IS THE MESSAGE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE VALUES IN WRITING, IN JOE BIDEN, THAT WE ARE AGAINST THE EXTREMISM THOSE FORCES THAT WOULD TEAR THIS COUNTRY APART. AND HE’S STILL COURTING VOTERS ON SOCIAL MEDIA THIS ELECTION SEASON, WMUR IS PARTNERING WITH POLITIFACT TO FACT CHECK THE PRESIDENTIAL HOPEFULS. EARLIER THIS MONTH ON X, BIDEN WROTE THAT, QUOTE, WE’VE CREATED CLOSE TO 800,000 MANUFACTURING JOBS SINCE I’VE TAKEN OFFICE. POLITIFACT SAYS THAT CLAIM IS MOSTLY TRUE. BIDEN’S STATEMENT WAS ACTUALLY SURPRISINGLY ACCURATE, EVEN THOUGH A COMMUNITY NOTE WAS ADDED TO THE POST. CASTING DOUBT ON THE PRESIDENT’S CLAIMS. POLITIFACT SAYS FEDERAL DATA SHOWS THAT BIDEN IS RIGHT ON THE NUMBER OF MANUFACTURING JOBS CREATED. IT’S HARD TO TELL EXACTLY WHAT BIDEN’S ROLE IN THIS WAS, ALTHOUGH HE PROBABLY HAD SOME ROLE IN TERMS OF HIS POLICY, HIS POLICY AGENDA THAT HE PUT FORWARD. POLITIFACT REPORTS THAT THE FIRST THREE QUARTERS OF THOSE JOB GAINS REPRESENTED A RETURN TO PRE-RECESSION LEVELS. IT TURNS OUT THAT THIS IS THE SECOND BEST EVER SINCE WORLD WAR TWO, AND ONE OF ONLY FOUR TIMES OUT OF 12 THAT THERE’S EVEN BEEN A POSITIVE BOUNCE BACK, POLITIFACT SAYS, COMPARING HISTORICAL PATTERNS SHOWS THAT MANUFACTURE AND EMPLOYMENT IS THE STRONGEST IT’S BEEN IN 72 YEARS. BUT THEY SAY IT’S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT BIDEN IS NOT SOLELY RESPONSIBLE HERE. ANYTIME PRESIDENT SAYS THAT, YOU KNOW, WE WE LIKE CREATED A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF JOBS, THERE’S ALWAYS THE CAVEAT THAT YOU HAVE TO SAY THAT THAT THE PRESIDENT IS NOT THE SOLE MOVER OF THE ECONOMY. WE’LL BE FACT CHECKING ALL THE MAJOR CANDIDATES FROM BOTH PARTIES THROUGHOUT THE ELECTION CYCLE. YOU CAN FIND
