Sen. Adam Schiff admitted on ABC News that Democrats lost the 2024 election because they failed to stay focused on the high cost of living.
He criticized both President Trump’s economic policies and his own party’s lack of messaging, saying Democrats should have emphasized affordability issues more during the campaign.
Meanwhile, Trump’s popularity is rising, especially among young voters, independents, and even some Democrats, following his new universal 10% tariff. Polls show increasing support for his trade policies and optimism from business leaders about the economy under his leadership.
