Trump compares real wages under his admin versus Biden's during speech calling out Dem affordability 'hoax'
Fox News
Trump used a Pennsylvania rally to argue prices are falling and wages rising under his policies, pushing back on Dems’ “affordability" message ahead of the midterms.
Affordability has become a flashpoint heading into the midterms, with Republicans now fine-tuning their messaging on the economy after a slew of Democrats won elections in 2025 running on a platform focused on lowering costs. Prior to Tuesday night's address in Pennsylvania, Trump told Politico in an interview that he would give his economy an "A-plus-plus-plus-plus-plus" grade, but a November Fox News national survey found that some 76% of voters reported they view the economy negatively, up from the 67% who reported the same in July, and up from the 70% who said the same at the end of former President Joe Biden's term.
