Speaker Nancy Pelosi is looking to make a sharp pivot away from the heated politics of impeachment and lash President Donald Trump in another key area: the economy
.
The centrist Democrat said he sees Pelosi’s shift to the economy as a signal that talk of impeachment and investigations are over in the House, at least for now. There are a series of ongoing court cases though could renew the push among some Democrats to investigate Trump, including the bid to interview former White House counsel Don McGahn. But Democrats risk appearing as sore losers in light of the president’s acquittal.
But after the Senate cleared Trump, Democrats are privately hoping their message can break through and damage a president who is heading into his reelection campaign more emboldened than ever before. Some Democrats are eager to go all in on hammering Trump and say he’s lying about the claims he makes about the state of the economy when he came into office, the reality behind the rising wages and jobs numbers and the impact the Republican tax law had on the middle class.
The pressure for Democrats to get the message right on the economy comes as Trump enters the throes of his reelection campaign more popular than he’s been than at any time of his presidency. His approval rating now stands at, leaving him virtually unshaken by an election scandal that would likely sink any other president.
Capitol Hill Democrats are now under pressure to play catch-up to the White House’s messaging on the economy, after months of impeachment overshadowing their own agenda on the airwaves.that showed nearly 6 in 10 people approve of Trump’s handling of the economy, another career high. The polling, conducted by the Navigator Research group, showed that candidates playing the partisan blame-game — arguing, for example, that Obama pulled the country out of a recession — would lose in a head-to-head against Trump’s economic message 38 percent to 41 percent.
