The US was actually recovering better than most countries from covid, we had some issue with inflation, but overall a really healthy looking economy. If you look at the charts unemployment, inflation, wage growth, etc. all have a turning point around the time Trump took over (for the worse).

Was everything going to be peachy if Harris was elected, no. However, Trump is actively making things worse.
