Overview
- On Fox News’ America’s Newsroom, anchor Bill Hemmer told Vice President JD Vance the economy could be the issue to “clip” the administration.
- Hemmer cited recent surveys showing majority disapproval of Trump’s handling of the economy, including Fox News (40% approve/59% disapprove), the Wall Street Journal (45%/54%), and the Washington Post (41%/57%).
- Hemmer warned, “You’ve got nine months to turn it around,” likening the task to “pushing a car uphill,” and said Democrats are “juiced” to vote.
- Vance agreed the effort feels like pushing a car uphill, blamed the Biden administration for leaving a poor economy, and pointed to inherited debt and inflation.
- Vance predicted near-term relief from tax refunds and claimed large private factory investments would add construction and manufacturing jobs.
