Axios reporter says Biden's economic accomplishments are 'largely irrelevant' amid high inflation, gas prices

Axios reporter Hans Nichols said Sunday on CNN's "Inside Politics" that President Biden's economic accomplishments were "largely irrelevant" with inflation at a 40-year-high and increased gas prices occurring nationwide. 

Nichols, Politico White House correspondent Laura Barrón-López and CNN White House correspondent Kaitlin Collins joined host Abby Philips to discuss Biden's economy. The president touted his accomplishments during a speech, Friday, about the most recent jobs report, which saw that the economy created 431,000 jobs in March. Philips also noted an NBC poll that found enthusiasm for Republicans heading into the midterms was at 67%, compared to 50% for Democrats. 

"Record job creation. Record unemployment declines. Record wage gains," Biden said. But Philips noted that "there are still signs that the American public doesn't think things are trending in the right direction."

Collins called it a "balance" for Biden with inflation at a high and the "affordability of energy."

Nichols said that the president was right, but that his accomplishments were "also largely irrelevant."
