Trump tries to boost Republicans amid cost-of-living concerns

Right, 5:32 now is your time. President Trump is on the campaign trail, trying to give Republicans a boost ahead of next month's midterm elections. But with the cost of living still top of mind for many voters, Democrats say the president's economic message isn't matching what Americans are feeling at home. Alex Hoff joins us now from Washington with the story. Good morning. Well, good morning too. Yeah, the president is betting his political star power can help Republicans hold on to Congress, but a new Fox News poll suggests that the economy could be his party's biggest obstacle. President Trump back on the campaign trail and back to making his case to voters because of the price of oil, Texas, Oklahoma, North Dakota, and all these places, we're making a fortune. But while the president touts his economic record, a new Fox News poll shows voters are still feeling the pinch. Fifty-nine percent say the cost of living is the country's top economic problem, and nearly three out of four voters rate the economy as only fair or poor. He's not even authorized to make those five thousand dollar payments. Democrats are seizing on the economic anxiety, arguing the president's promises have yet to deliver relief. How many other promises has he made in these last two years where people have not seen anything delivered? But Republicans insist the president's economic agenda needs more time. He's fighting for the American workers out there. He knows people are suffering. He's trying to do his best, but it's going to take some time, though. And with control of Congress on the line, Republicans are counting on Trump to energize their base. No one is better than President Trump at bringing out the base, articulating why he's president, why he won. But Democrats say the president's presence on the campaign trail could work in their favor. I think this is a real problem for the Republican candidates that are on the ballot because I think that's how many people are voting, like he is on the ballot. And the White House is pushing back on concerns about inflation, pointing to wage growth and the president's tax cuts. But with just weeks until Election Day, the question is whether voters will buy that message. Shnu Hannah, all right, Alex Hoff live in Washington with the latest on that. Thank you.
