Trump is making a rare Western trip to talk about the economy, something polls show he’s weak on
Trump will highlight his economic record and attack Democrats as polls show only 32% approve of his handling of the economy, officials said.
- President Donald Trump visits California and Nevada this week to promote his economic agenda and contrast his policies with Democrats ahead of November elections that will determine control of Congress.
- Recent polling shows only 32% of Americans approve of Trump's economic handling, while 69% characterized the economy as "poor" amid stress over everyday essentials like groceries and gas.
- Trump defends a $7.25 federal minimum wage, while California Gov. Gavin Newsom noted the state will raise its minimum to $17.40 next year, creating a sharp policy divide.
- The Nevada State Democratic Party is using billboards to link Trump to Gov. Joe Lombardo, who faces a competitive reelection battle against Democratic Attorney General Aaron Ford amid housing shortages.
- Tensions persist from federal interventions, with Newsom arguing that "democracy is under assault" after Trump deployed National Guard troops and Marines into Los Angeles without the governor's consent.
