These are all words to describe today’s monthly jobs report showing a labor market in tatters and an economy teetering on the edge.
Today’s report puts hard data behind the real-world challenges and difficulties facing everyday Americans as Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans drive the economy over a cliff with sweeping tariffs and their Big, Ugly Law.
DCCC Spokesperson Viet Shelton:
“We’ve said since the beginning of the year that the midterms will be a referendum on who is working to lower costs and help improve the lives of everyday Americans. Today’s abysmal jobs report is just the latest proof point of how Republicans are failing miserably and, in fact, making things worse with their Big, Ugly Law and sweeping tariffs. People are viscerally feeling the negative impacts of their broken promises when they see their grocery receipts and utility bills go up, and struggle to navigate an awful job market. The DCCC will hold Republicans accountable for trashing the economy, and it’ll be a defining issue when Democrats retake the majority in 2026.”
