The latest Gross Domestic Product (GDP) numbers out Thursday are poised to hamper Democrats' key argument heading into the midterm elections that the U.S. economy has rebounded from the dark days of the coronavirus pandemic.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., arrives at the Capitol in Washington, Wednesday, Oct. 6, 2021, as a showdown looms with Democrats over raising the debt limit. Ron Klain, White House Chief of Staff, tweeted that despite the "sour GDP number" the recovery remained resilient because of strong consumer spending and continued business investment, he said, citing a New York Times report.

"The most salient takeaway from the Q1 GDP report -- when you strip away the noise --is the continuing resilience of the American economic recovery," Deese tweeted. Much like how Republicans have sought to link Biden to historically high gas prices – plastering stickers of Biden at the pump saying "I did that!" – the GOP also is seeking to tie Biden's domestic spending agenda to the negative GDP.Biden Thursday said he's "not concerned" about any immediate recession and sought to pivot to more positive headlines.
