The DNC aims to harness the same concerns about affordability that President Trump capitalized on to return to the White House. Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin stated, "Everything costs too damn much under Donald Trump and the Republicans." The events are designed to reach, engage, register, and mobilize voters who will make a difference in races up and down the ballot.
According to an AP-NORC poll from June, about one-third of U.S. adults approve of how Trump is handling the economy, down from 40% at the start of his second term. About 7 in 10 U.S. adults say the country's economy is "poor," up from 65% in March. This underscores Americans' ongoing unhappiness with the cost of living, compounded by high gas prices due to the war in Iran.
Slightly more U.S. adults believe the Democratic Party would do a better job than the Republican Party in handling inflation and the cost of living, according to a Marquette Law School/SSRS poll from May. Roughly one-third of U.S. adults — 35% — said the Democrats would do a better job, while 28% believe the Republicans would.
The Republican National Committee dismissed the weekend's events, with spokeswoman Delanie Bomar stating, "Despite being millions of dollars in debt, the DNC is choosing to throw pitiful pep rallies to distract from the fact they created the inflation crisis." Democrats hope that these events will show their seriousness and effectiveness in tackling kitchen table issues.
