CNBC Criticizes Warren Over Economic Warnings Amid Surging Markets

CNBC anchors Joe Kernen and Rick Santelli criticized Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren for her persistent negative economic predictions despite recent strong economic data under President Donald Trump's administration. They highlighted the U.S. GDP growth of 3% in the second quarter, following a contraction in the first quarter, and noted that inflation has remained below 3% while the stock market reached new highs. Santelli emphasized that Democrats, including Warren and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, appear reluctant to acknowledge the economic successes attributed to President Trump's policies, particularly his tariff strategy. Kernen mocked the Democrats' continued claims of economic doom, arguing these warnings have not materialized and accusing the left of partisanship aimed at undermining the current administration. The White House also praised the GDP numbers as exceeding expectations, urging the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates to benefit consumers. Overall, the coverage reflects a clash between Republican confidence in economic progress under Trump and Democratic skepticism about the sustainability and impact of these gains.
