| Derrick Van Orden and Bryan Steil told Wisconsinites they’d fix the economy – instead, they’re silent as Trump bails out Argentina while leaving Wisconsin soybean and cattle farmers and ranchers behind.
And new polling is showing that Trump voters aren’t happy: 48 percent of Americans who voted for Trump in 2024 disapprove of the bailout.
DCCC Spokesperson Katie Smith:
“Derrick Van Orden and Bryan Steil are siding with Argentina over Wisconsin and doing nothing to stand up for Wisconsin’s soybean and cattle farmers. It’s clear that Americans have had enough of cowardly politicians like Van Orden and Steil – one of the many reasons they’ll lose next year.”
Newsweek: Trump Voters Disapprove of $40 Billion Argentina Bailout: Poll
- Almost half of President Donald Trump’s voters disapprove of his administration’s bailout of Argentina, according to a new survey.
- According to the poll by The Economist and YouGov, 48 percent of Americans who voted for Trump in the 2024 election said they disapprove of the U.S. government providing up to $40 billion in financial assistance to Argentina to help stabilize its economy, while just 30 percent said they approve. Twenty-two percent said they were not sure.
- Trump has sought to help Argentina bolster its collapsing currency with a $20-billion credit swap line, and is reportedly looking to provide an additional $20 billion in financing from sovereign funds and the private sector for his close ally President Javier Milei ahead of midterm elections. The move has prompted criticism from across the political spectrum, including from Trump allies who say it goes against the president’s “America First” mantra.
- Over the weekend, he also said the United States could buy Argentine beef in an attempt to bring down prices for American consumers, prompting further criticism and fury from American producers.
- Overall, the poll found that 56 percent of voters disapprove of providing the aid to Argentina, while just 20 percent said they approve. Across all demographics, more Americans disapprove than approve of the bailout.
