Voters Warn of Inflation Fallout as Democrats Take House
Election‑year message urges new Democratic majority and President Trump to fix economy, while Trump insists growth is booming but signals openness to cooperate.
Voters sent an election‑year message to the new Democratic congressional majority and President Donald Trump to repair the damage inflation has done to the economy, after Democrats won a victory in the midterms on Tuesday.
Trump campaigned on the idea that a Democratic victory in the midterms would trigger a 1929‑style economic depression, yet he has maintained that the economy is booming.
Since his party lost in Tuesday’s voting, Trump has claimed he is willing to work with Democrats in the House and Senate, a stance PBS News notes is not something he has done much of in the past.
