Trump urges GOP to refocus on economy | JQJO

After a bruising election night for Republicans, President Donald Trump told GOP senators their messaging on the record-length shutdown is failing and urged them to tout his economic achievements. In a Miami speech billed as a major economic address, he mixed calls to focus on prices and jobs with wide-ranging detours and a new line casting politics as 'communism versus common sense.' Democrats, meanwhile, centered affordability in recent wins. A CNN poll showed deep economic pessimism and major doubts about Trump’s policies. House Speaker Mike Johnson said Trump will take an active role ahead of the midterms.
