Ron Klain: The ‘Progress’ Needs to Be ‘Fully Internalized’ By the American People

TRANSCRIPT:

KLAIN: "I've worked in the White House twice before in times of economic recovery. And what I can tell you is that the economy comes back first and voters internalize that second. They need to see that the positive signs they’re seeing aren't just temporary. They need to see that they really reflect where we're going as a country. They need to see that, really, that growth will be shared widely. They need to see that that growth is lasting. And we're just getting back up off from that. When we came here 14 months ago, the economy was dead in the water, less than 50,000 jobs a month being created. We'd just been through all these shutdowns and all these setbacks in our economy, and now we are growing again and we are coming back again and I think that progress needs to be fully internalized by the American people."
