Record job creation in the past four months after the global coronavirus pandemic's low point are going to give President Donald Trump an election boost, according to economist Steve Moore.
"May, June, July and August have been the four biggest months of job creation in the history of the United States," Moore told Sunday's "The Cats Roundtable" on WABC 770 AM-N.Y.
"We've regained over 10 million jobs in four months. Now, we lost 20 million, so we have 10 million to gain."
Friday's jobs report was a "grand slam," Moore added to host John Catsimatidis.
While the unemployment rate of 8.4% is high for re-election chances, the Congressional Budget Office had expect 15 - 20% unemployment rates until the end of the year, Moore told Catsimatidis.
"That's an incredible number, given that we were at over 20% unemployment not long ago," Moore added.
"I don't think anybody saw this happening four months ago. It kind of left Joe Biden bummed; he doesn't quite know what to say in response to these very good numbers."
The job creation, despite American cities run by Democrats remaining shuttered due to the pandemic, is ultimately going to spur votes for Trump, Moore continued.
"I believe that Donald Trump is going to win a larger percentage of the Black vote in America than any Republican in 50 years," he said. "You can mark that down. And the reason is Donald Trump is a job creator, and Donald Trump is someone who believes in public safety, keeping neighborhoods safe and secure, and keeping businesses open.
"I would not be surprised if Donald Trump didn't get over 25% of the Black vote. And that would be an amazing thing. If that happens he's going to win in a landslide re-election."
