Republicans Are Sweating the Economy... THEY SHOULD!!!

Written by Andrew Bates

This is Andrew Bates. I was White House Senior Deputy Press Secretary in the Biden-Harris Administration and a national spokesperson on the Biden campaign in 2020.

First, thank you for your incredible support during the last four years as we worked together to beat Big Pharma so that Medicare can negotiate lower drug costs, defeated the gun lobby to pass the most significant gun reform in 30 years, and made rich special interests pay more of their fair share in taxes.

Before the Biden campaign, I spent the 2018 midterms leading the House races arm of the Democratic super PAC American Bridge, helping to retake the House majority. I’m writing today because it’s already clear that in 2025, Republicans are turning their back on middle class voters. Just like they did in 2017 - which Democrats seized on to win the following year. We can do the same now.

In 2017, after telling the country he’d “raise taxes on the very wealthy” - including himself - and provide cheaper, better health insurance for “everybody,” Trump was joined by congressional Republicans in not only breaking those promises, but doing the exact opposite of every single one. And because Americans’ top political priority is virtually always their family’s economic bottom line, Democrats were relentless in making sure every voter we could reach knew they’d been double-crossed.
