Area Minority Chief Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) slammed President Trump and elected Republicans on Sunday for showing to not prioritize decreasing prices for American citizens, arguing it was once a core marketing campaign promise.
“Donald Trump and Republicans consistently promised that they were going to lower the high cost of living, and they’ve done the exact opposite. They’ve shown no interest in lowering costs in the United States of America, which are too high,” Jeffries mentioned in an interview on ABC Information’s “This Week.”
“Housing costs are too high. Grocery costs are too high. Child care costs are too high. Utility costs are too high. The cost of living is too high in the United States of America. This country is too expensive. But they’ve broken their promise. They have no interest in improving the quality of life of hardworking American taxpayers.”
Jeffries additionally mentioned Democrats “will continue to push back forcefully” towards efforts to chop taxes “for their billionaire donors and wealthy corporations.”
ABC Information’s Jonathan Karl requested Jeffries about fresh polling knowledge appearing Trump’s favorability score upper than all the way through his first time period and several other movements he has taken or indicated he would take, with important approval from the American folks.
According to this, Jeffries mentioned, “Let me say, as it relates to all those issues, we’re just at the beginning. And the core promise that Donald Trump made is that he’s going to lower costs for everyday Americans. In fact, we were told that grocery prices would go down on day one, on Jan. 20th.”
“Costs aren’t lower. In fact, costs are increasing. The price of eggs is skyrocketing out of control. Inflation is on the way up. That was the core promise that’s been broken.”
