Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) took to the internet to toot his own horn, claiming Democrats have worked wonders on the United States economy and accusing former President Donald Trump of trying to claim credit for it.
Schumer boasted about the record-breaking performance of the Dow Jones and S&P 500, bashing Trump for referring to it as the “Trump Stock Market” and alleging that Trump had predicted an economic crash if he lost the 2020 election. Schumer emphasized that with President Joe Biden in charge and Democrats holding the reins, the economy is on the upswing.
The Democrats have repeatedly touted these positive economic statistics as a key talking point for the upcoming 2024 campaign. On the flip side, Trump and the Republicans have been quick to point out the struggles with inflation under the Biden administration, attempting to paint this as a major weak spot.
Despite the strong pushback on President Biden’s economic policies, his campaign has continued to shine a spotlight on his efforts to get the economy back on track. This focus on economic success has become even more crucial in light of the challenges Biden is facing at the border and the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East.
