DNC Slams GOP 'MAGAnomics'

The Democratic National Committee came out swinging against the economic policies of Republican front-runner and former president Donald Trump and every other candidate in the GOP primary, but all under the umbrella of “MAGAnomics.”

Notable is that MAGA, or "Make America Great Again," is the slogan from Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, and he's leading the primary by 41 points.

“2024 GOP candidates love Trump’s unpopular tax breaks for the wealthy so much that they’ve pledged to bring back and extend his MAGA tax scam at the expense of America’s middle-class families,” the DNC said in an email blast on Thursday.

The attack comes one day after a USA Today/Suffolk University poll found 47% of Americans trust Trump’s plan for the economy versus 36% for President Joe Biden. Seven out of 10 Americans believe the economy is getting worse under Biden, according to the survey.

The email blast also coincided with a statement released by the White House earlier in the day, saying that “Bidenomics and MAGAnomics couldn’t be more different.” That came out ahead of Biden’s appearance later in the day in Maryland to promote his economic vision.

The DNC in its email blast aggregated more than 20 bullet points attacking nearly every GOP candidate’s economic plan, including those of former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson and former GOP Rep. Will Hurd, who are polling at 0.4% and 0.3%, respectively, according to the latest aggregate numbers posted at FiveThirtyEight.

“It goes beyond Trump’s tax scam. Many 2024 candidates have decadeslong records of supporting tax giveaways for the ultra-wealthy and large corporations,” the DNC writes.

And this: “Republican presidential hopefuls have long, shameful records of railing against policies that support America’s hardworking middle-class families.”

The DNC’s tome stands in stark contrast to the three-paragraph email sent out by the Trump campaign earlier Thursday touting the USAT poll results.

"USA Today: "President Joe Biden is selling an economic rebound. But most Americans aren't buying it, according to an exclusive poll from the Suffolk University Sawyer Business School and USA TODAY."
