Donald Trump spent his first 100 days back in the Oval Office driving an economy that the world envied to the brink of crisis, risking America’s reputation as a financial safe haven and fostering fear among voters who’ve lost confidence in his leadership.

Americans were desperate for relief from high grocery prices and bought into Trump’s promise to make America affordable again in November 2024, partly out of nostalgia for the pre-pandemic economy of his first term.

But the president deliberately and singlehandedly adopted policies that are almost certain to spike prices even more; that could lead to shortages; and that have CEOs and small businesses dealing with chaos and the possibility of a recession.

    I think AOC could win since she’s young and when younger generations do vote it’s for younger progressive people.

    But it also requires them actually communicating policies that will get young people to go vote.

      Except young people (or all people) need to go vote in primaries for those they want.

      You can’t just wait for your perfect person to show up magically. Ie. Policies reflect people who vote, not the other way around.

        Yeah and unfortunately we are at a point where even if she does run and win in 2028 the conservative majority SCOTUS wouldn’t let any of her laws stick around.
