This week, the DNC highlighted how Trump’s first 100 days have been a disaster for Americans. From Day 1, instead of making good on his campaign promises, Trump has run our country to the ground – skyrocketing costs, ripping away hard-earned benefits and lifeline programs, slashing jobs, and driving our economy toward a recession. As Trump continues to put billionaires over hardworking Americans, his approval ratings are reaching all-time lows.

With this move, Republicans are one step closer to undermining our democracy and stealing a fair and free election.
