Amidst a turbulent Democratic National Convention, a leftist speaker criticized the Biden-Harris administration for abandoning the working class, warning that this could pave the way for Donald Trump's return to the White House. The speaker highlighted broken promises regarding minimum wage and healthcare, correlating the administration's failures with rising inflation and economic struggles for working families. In contrast, President Biden defended his economic record, claiming wages are up and inflation is down, despite data showing that inflation has outpaced wage growth. The event also featured a surprise speech from Kamala Harris, who has recently gained in polling against Trump. Meanwhile, Stellantis announced layoffs of up to 2,500 workers in Michigan due to production cuts, reflecting ongoing economic challenges. Critics argue that the Biden-Harris administration's policies have exacerbated financial hardships for many Americans, leading to increased debt and economic anxiety.
