Hello everyone, hold on tight because we’re diving into a conversation that’s making waves in the political world. MSNBC recently hit the streets of Philadelphia to talk to black voters about the issues weighing on their minds as they consider who to elect as the next president of the United States. And guess what? Inflation is topping their list of concerns, and the sentiment is anything but positive.
This is truly sad. The current economic conditions aren’t working for many hardworking people out there. pic.twitter.com/QNJEZUS9dw

One woman, speaking with MSNBC, didn’t hold back about how inflation has hit her and her family. “It’s been brutal,” she said, directly blaming the federal government. With Joe Biden having stepped down and Kamala Harris now leading the Democratic Party’s ticket for 2024, the woman made it clear that she sees the Biden-Harris agenda as responsible for the financial pain she’s experiencing.
Just six days ago BIDEN said “I cured the economy.”
This morning, over $2.9 trillion was wiped out of major indices and stocks.

She didn’t mince words, describing how working families are being crushed by what she called Harris’ “high inflation agenda.” “They’re killing us without killing us…they’re hurting people in ways that they can’t help themselves,” she said. This powerful statement paints a grim picture of the economic reality many Americans feel they’re facing.
But Joe Scarborough just told me this morning that the economy is great! https://t.co/XUOV5Nf0SL

Now, let’s talk about how this ties into the broader conversation around the economy. Some media figures, like MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough, have taken a different stance, suggesting that the economy is stronger than ever. They point to graphs and statistics that seem to show positive trends, but what about the realities on the ground? Credit card debt is skyrocketing to historic levels, and many people are struggling just to make minimum payments. It doesn’t feel like a strong economy when so many are stretched thin and savings are dwindling.
.@ScottJenningsKY: Economic experts aren’t going to decide the election. Actual working-class American voters are, and they know full well how much more expensive their life is today than it was under Donald Trump.

And let’s not forget the big picture—if Democrats win this year’s elections, many fear that the situation could get even worse. High energy prices, bank instability, and a vulnerable real estate market are looming threats. For seniors on fixed incomes, these issues are especially alarming, and they’re asking what Harris really stands for. So far, it seems like more of the same failed policies from the Biden administration, which might explain why Harris has been avoiding the media.
