| Today marks eight months since Donald Trump, backed by John Braun, pulled Washingtonians into a reckless war of choice in Iran with no end in sight. Despite families paying $5.27/gal to fill up the tank and watching prices soar on groceries and everyday goods, Braun has repeatedly backed the war.
Americans’ confidence in the economy is “in a tailspin,” with consumer confidence at a lower point than during the Great Recession.
The Braun-backed war in Iran has cost Washingtonians an average $383 per household.
REMINDER: Trump said the war in Iran would be over in a matter of weeks, but after eight months, $47 billion in military spending, and more than $100 billion in excess consumer spending on fuel alone, the war is no closer to ending than when it started.
DCCC Spokesperson Lindsay Reilly:
“John Braun broke his promise to Washingtonians to lower costs, rubber-stamping Trump’s reckless war of choice in Iran and raising prices everywhere from the gas station to the grocery store. Washington families are sick of this endless war, and Braun’s broken promises are going to cost him.” |
