Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg ticked off all of Biden's accomplishments, largely drowned out by the right wing noise machine.

Speaking to Jake Tapper on CNN, Buttigieg said.
But let's talk about what we have to show for that even just in the two years that the administration has been here, we just saw the latest round of job numbers that came out, record low unemployment, the lowest we have had in more than 50 years.
And, usually, when unemployment is that low, inflation is going up. Right now, inflation is going down, along with unemployment. We're talking about the most jobs created under any president in this period, matter of fact, the president creating more jobs in two years than you have seen typically in four, and coupled with things that Republicans often say that is very important to them, like deficit reduction, historic reduction of the deficit, to the tune of $1.7 trillion under this president.
You look at what's been done in two years, and I think the president is going to be going into the State of the Union speech with a context of extraordinary, historic accomplishment.

One of the major reasons Biden's accomplishments have been blunted for the public is because the Beltway Media takes its cues from the right-wing noise machine. It's in their interest to sideline all good news under Biden while covering up all the bad news that follows Trump and the MAGA cult around.
We've just had days of insane ranting about a Chinese spy balloon.
Has that helped the country?
Nope.
Has it thrown a smoke screen around the incredible jobs report for January?
Absolutely.
Is this latest nonsense used solely for the purpose of undermining the Biden administration?
Yes.
Fox News used unqualified Trump admin sycophants to run this headline.
