Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi accused Republicans of worsening healthcare, military and economic conditions while urging Democrats to vote against MAGA-aligned candidates in the 2026 midterm elections.
Pelosi Slams Trump Policies
In a post on X on Tuesday, Pelosi pointed to healthcare, military families, tariffs and food costs as what she described as failures of the Trump administration’s policies.
She wrote, “Our healthcare infrastructure has been gutted. Our military families have been demoralized and disrespected.”
“Our economy wrecked with inept tariffs,” and “our food is unsafe and more expensive,” she added.
The Former House Speaker urged Democrats to turn those concerns into electoral action. “Democrats, we can stop this chaos—when we vote MAGA Republicans OUT!” Pelosi wrote.
Trump’s Economic Policies Draw Criticism
Earlier this month, investor Peter Schiff warned that President Donald Trump’s push for lower interest rates and threat to halt trade with countries running trade surpluses against the U.S. could trigger an economic downturn.
He said, “This would crash the U.S. economy, as a shortage of goods would send prices and unemployment soaring.”
Last month, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass) criticized Trump’s economic policies, saying, “Trump’s failed economic policies are hammering America’s workers,” as she pointed to weak job growth, slowing wages and rising costs.
Moody’s chief economist Mark Zandi blamed Trump’s immigration policies and other supply-side shocks for rising unemployment among U.S.-born workers.
He warned of stagflationary pressures and said, “The only reason why the economy isn’t in complete shambles is because of AI.”
In February, former Vice President Kamala Harris criticized Trump’s economic record, saying Americans were struggling with “high prices, unaffordable health care, unaffordable housing,” while warning that his Iran policy could lead to another war.
Trump Predicts GOP Midterm Win
On Monday, Trump used his Labor Day message to attack Democrats and predict a major Republican victory in the 2026 midterm elections.
He accused the “Radical Left” of trying to “destroy our Country” and said, “We’re going to win the Midterms, BIG, and SAVE AMERICA!” as Republicans prepared for the final stretch of the campaign.
