Have things gotten cheaper since President Trump has taken office? Gas prices and eggs have surely gone down since the Trump admin has taken over the White House. However some items are still being impacted by Biden era policies. Vice President JD Vance was honest with the American people on Thursday and shared the current administration is working hard for things to be more affordable for Americans. As many members of the Trump administration have talked about the economic accomplishments the administration has been able to accomplish these last 10 months, Vice President JD Vance offered a different side. CNN provided details on Vance’s remarks on the current economy: Vice President JD Vance on Thursday acknowledged that the Trump administration faces growing skepticism over its economic record, issuing a plea for patience ahead of what he predicted would be an eventual “economic boom.” “We get it and we hear you, and we know that there’s a lot of work to do,” Vance said during a Breitbart News event. “As much progress as we’ve made, it’s going to take a little time for Americans to feel that.” The conciliatory tone represented a sharply different approach from the one taken in recent weeks by President Donald Trump, who has continued to insist that the economy is thriving while dismissing cost-of-living concerns as little more than a Democratic talking point. It also underscored the White House’s ongoing efforts to calibrate its messaging on the economy ahead of next year’s midterm elections — and in the aftermath of GOP losses in New Jersey and Virginia earlier this month that voters indicated were driven in large part by deep disappointment with Trump’s domestic agenda. Vance during his remarks conceded that Americans remained unhappy over the affordability issues that have weighed on those approval ratings, such as the price of groceries. At one point, he went as far as to undercut one of Trump’s key barometers of economic success — a decline in the price of eggs since January — by admitting that the food staple is still too expensive for many people. “If you’re an American who’s just struggling to get by, you work hard, you pay your taxes, you want your kids to have good opportunities. And then the price of eggs goes from $2 a dozen to $8 a dozen under the Biden administration, and then it goes from $8 a dozen to maybe $6.50 a dozen,” Vance said. “Well, to you that is still a major problem.” The vice president sought to cast much of the blame for voters’ sour mood on former President Joe Biden, complaining that the prior administration had “put us in a very tough spot.” He also blamed Democrats for any near-term economic fallout from the record-long government shutdown.

Pain with prices. Unsure about Trump administration policies. It adds up to high disapproval among the president’s loyal constituencies. Here are six takeaways from the latest Fox News national survey. Some 76% of voters view the economy negatively. That’s worse than the 67% who felt that way in July and the 70% who said the same at the end of former President Biden’s term. Large numbers, overall and among Republicans, say their costs for groceries, utilities, healthcare and housing have gone up this year. Voters blame the president. About twice as many say President Donald Trump, rather than Biden, is responsible for the current economy. And three times as many say Trump’s economic policies have hurt them (they said the same about Biden’s last year). Plus, approval of how Trump is handling the economy hit a new low, and disapproval of his overall job performance hit record highs among core supporter
