Schmitt Blames Democrats for Economic Struggles

Senator Eric Schmitt criticized Democrats over the state of the U.S. economy, arguing that policies under former President Joe Biden led to record inflation, a widened trade deficit, and financial strain for working families. Schmitt said the Trump administration is now working to reverse what he called four years of economic mismanagement, pointing to falling gas prices, proposed tax relief for workers, and efforts to reduce the trade deficit. While acknowledging ongoing challenges for families, he placed responsibility squarely on past Democratic leadership.
