USA: Presidential Elections: Joe Biden puts the brakes on Trump jobs-report victory lap

Biden said the government's surprising May report showing the addition of 2.5 million jobs in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic was just a first sign of recovery from a deep and broad recession.

"There is so much more work to be done. So many Americans are still hurting," Biden said at Delaware State University, a historically Black university in Dover, Delaware.

Not everyone was benefitting from the improvement, Biden noted, as the African-American unemployment rate rose slightly.

The report underscored the challenge Biden faces in fashioning his own distinct economic message. Even while Biden leads Trump nationally in a head-to-head matchup, polls show the president is largely more trusted on his handling of the economy.

Biden, who has called for an ambitious set of federal programmes to lift the country out of recession, repeated his pledge to release a large-scale recovery plan soon.

Note-EU Digest: :This is a great day also for George Floyd" remark by Trump during his  speech was also totally over the top.
