Donald Trump was publicly humbled by inflation in the midterm elections, as rising prices provoked a blistering set of losses for Republicans in House, Senate and gubernatorial races.
Most voters said that Trump’s own policies had smothered growth and driven costs even higher, according to The AP Voter Poll, a survey of roughly 100,000 midterm voters. The president’s message that the fault lay with his predecessor, Democrat Joe Biden, didn’t land. Americans saw prices start to climb with Trump’s chaotic rash of tariffs last year, and energy costs spiked after he launched a war with Iran in February.
About two-thirds of voters said Trump’s own policies had fueled inflation. By contrast, only about half of 2022 midterm voters said this about Biden’s policies, according to AP VoteCast.
So what’s going to happen in 2028 when the effects of the Iran War and dedollarization are still happening?
Republicans voted back in power because everything wasn’t magically fixed in 2 years.
how many years does it take for the Democrats to ignore the Parlimentarian and raise the minimum wage? 20?
Politically and strategically the smart thing to do is to continuously pass bills for items that the populace wants. The orange moron will have to veto them all. Then push the news/social media hard to show how he is blocking what people want.
They should pass a bill to raise the the minimum wage to $20/hour for starters. He’ll veto it and look like a shithead.
Yeah, especially since they’ll want to avoid actually doing anything that could pass, so might as well get the points from that.
