Too many people are working hard – they’re playing by the rules, but they can’t thrive.
They have nothing to run on. We’re going to run on fighting for an affordable America.
It was Donald Trump who promised to lower costs on day one. But we know that costs haven’t gone down in this country. Costs have gone up.
In every conversation that we have with the Trump administration, we will continue to make it explicitly clear that the affordability crisis is not a hoax and nothing short of transformational policy change is acceptable.
