"The death rate for the entire U.S. population decreased by 9.2% from 879.7 deaths per 100,000 population in 2021 to 798.8 in 2022.
As a result, life expectancy at birth for the U.S. population increased from 76.4 years in 2021 to 77.5 in 2022."

"From 2021 to 2022, life expectancy at birth in the U.S. increased by 1.1 years (from 76.4 to 77.5). This did not fully offset the loss of 2.4 years between 2019 and 2021 that resulted mostly from increases in excess deaths due to the COVID-19 pandemic."

"In 2022, life expectancy partially rebounded in the U.S. while stabilizing in most comparable countries.... the CDC estimates life expectancy at birth in the U.S. increased to 77.5 years"
As you can clearly see, COVID killed a lot of people and the death rate went up and life expectancy went down temporarily. Now that COVID isn't under control, we are rebounding back to prior levels.
