Voters in Virginia and New Jersey Send a Message: It's Trump's Economy Now
Democrats flipped 13 competitive House seats in Virginia and New Jersey by focusing on cost-of-living issues amid voter concerns about rising food and energy prices, AP poll shows.
- Voters seemed to pay attention to how the president's policies affected them locally, with the whole government shutdown and people losing their SNAP benefits.
- The cost of living also may have led voters to signal that it is now President Donald Trump's economy, with affordability being the key issue.
- President Trump signed the bill ending the 43-day federal government shutdown, the longest in U.S. history, but was criticized for appearing more interested in building monuments to himself.
