Trump’s Economic Pitch Falls Flat with Voters

“For most of his second term, President Donald Trump has been arguing that the ‘golden age’ he promised for America’s economy is already here. There’s hardly been much evidence that voters agreed,” Bloomberg reports.

“Now, with midterm elections less than three months away and campaigning poised to get underway in earnest, the gap has become impossible to ignore. And there are signs that’s weighing on Trump’s Republican Party as it fights to retain control of Congress. The president’s rosy view is running into anxiety about the cost of living and fallout from the war in Iran.”
