Trump question at rally yesterday:
“I’d like to begin by asking a simple question: Are you better off now than you were four years ago?”
Answer: #BetterOffWithoutTrump

1. Are We Better Off Today? Hell Yes! Four years ago, while Trump was bragging about doing a “phenomenal job,” thousands of Americans were dying every day, schools were closed around the country, and workers were being devastated by high unemployment. Today, America has the world’s strongest economy, with over 16 million jobs added after Trump left. Since Kamala Harris cast the tie-breaking vote to pass the Inflation Reduction Act, inflation has fallen faster in the United States than in any other advanced economy. Wages are rising more than prices, which means working Americans have greater purchasing power today than before the pandemic under Trump. And Kamala Harris has a real plan, not just “concepts of a plan,” to continue strengthening the middle class.

Economy when Reagan ran his upbeat "Morning in America" reelection ad in Sept. 1984:
7.3% unemployment, 4.3% inflation
Economy in Sept. 2024 under Biden-Harris:
4.1% unemployment, 2.4% inflation

1. CBS Headline: "US inflation continued to coo in September, latest CPI data shows." Graphic: 245,000 jobs added in September, unemployment rate at 4.1% Lede: U.S. inflation last month reached its lowest point since February 2021, clearing the way for another Federal Reserve rate cut and adding to the stream of encouraging economic data that has emerged in the final weeks of the presidential campaign.

1. The Choice is Clear Donald Trump wants more tax breaks for big corporations and the rich, paid for by stripping healthcare coverage from 45 million Americans. Trump-MAGA Republicans have a radical plan, Project 2025, that would ban abortion, limit civil rights, and cut Social Security and Medicare. Kamala Harris and the Democrats have a very different plan: expand and strengthen the middle class while defending freedom. The Harris agenda includes a new child tax credit, historic support for first-time homebuyers, additional caps on prescription drug costs, relief on groceries by fighting price gouging, and a restoration of Roe v. Wade. Harris worked with Joe Biden to end the Trump Recession, and they built the world’s fastest growing post-pandemic economy, with nearly 16 million jobs created and wages rising faster than inflation.

1. The Choice is Clear: Donald Trump wants to give even more tax breaks to big corporations and the rich while repealing the Affordable Care Act and stripping healthcare from 40 million Americans. MAGA Republicans have a radical plan to ban abortion, limit civil rights, and cut Social Security and Medicare, and they defend Trump’s assault on the Constitution. Democrats are pursuing a very different plan: strengthening and expanding the middle class while defending freedom and democracy. Under the leadership of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, Democrats ended the Trump Recession and Trump Crime Wave. Today, our economy is the strongest in the world, with 15.7 million jobs added under Biden-Harris and wages rising faster than inflation. After Trump’s failed insurrection in 2021, Democrats jumpstarted the economy by delivering $1,400 relief checks, reopening schools, and expanding affordable health coverage. Democrats then passed historic, job-creating investments in infrastructure and manufacturing, and their Inflation Reduction Act is bringing down Medicare drug prices, reducing dependence on foreign oil, and fighting climate change. Next up: restoring Roe v. Wade and passing a billionaires tax to fund tax relief for ordinary folks.

Working with a Democratic Congress, they passed historic, job-creating investments in infrastructure and manufacturing, and their Inflation Reduction Act is bringing down Medicare drug prices, reducing dependence on foreign oil, and fighting climate change. Under Biden-Harris, wages are rising faster than inflation and we’re up 15.7 million jobs.

Two Reminders as the Republican National Convention Begins:
1. No Republican since Reagan has delivered strong job growth, while every Democrat has.
2. Unemployment and inflation are lower today under Biden than when Reagan ran 1984 Morning in America reelection ad.

22 months ago, Ron DeSantis went full MAGA on COVID, banning local precautions, downplaying the risk of a summer surge in Florida (which turned out to be the nation's worst), and heading down a path that led him to hire an anti-vaxxer as the state's Surgeon General.
Before DeSantis went full MAGA on COVID in May 2021, Florida's COVID death rate was close to the national average.
Since then, it's been the nation's 4th highest.
