Rachel Maddow Debunks Key Argument Of ‘Relatively Normal’ Trump Voters
MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow on Monday challenged voters who say they will back former president and current GOP nominee Donald Trump in the 2024 election because it’s a “business decision.”
The anchor asked exactly what they are basing that thinking on.
“This issue about making a business decision about your vote, a business decision about the election, this comes up all the time when you look at real world support for Trump, when you look at why relatively normal people say they’re going to vote for him,” noted Maddow.
The performance of the economy, the national deficit, inflation and bipartisanship can all be key factors as to how people cast their vote, she explained.
But President Joe Biden’s administration had left Trump’s economy “in the dust,” she said, before citing predictions that inflation and the deficit will both soar under Trump’s potential second term policies and how dozens of former Trump officials are now backing Democratic rival Kamala Harris over him.
“Just on the facts, if your business decision is economic performance broadly, that breaks for Harris. If your business decision is the deficit, that breaks for Harris. If your business decision is inflation, that breaks for Harris. If your business decision is on whether the candidate is bipartisan seeming and can appeal across both parties, clearly that’s Harris.”
