Now with two months to go before the November election, the president and his allies are giving their economic message one last shot
LA CROSSE, Wis. — First it was supposed to be “raring to go” by Easter. Then White House officials set their sights on a summer recovery, until a new wave of coronavirus outbreaks undid that plan, too.
He continued: “I encourage you to keep pressing on. Keep showing the strength and the faith and the resilience that working people have always shown in the history of this nation. Keep standing with us and we’ll keep standing with you.” While Pence was courting construction workers in one of Pennsylvania’s most closely watched swing counties last week, Trump excoriated House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for visiting a San Francisco hair salon that was closed to local customers due to the pandemic, fended off accusations that he disparaged American soldiers at several points during his presidency and declined to meet with the family of Jacob Blake, the latest victim of a police-involved shooting, during a trip to Kenosha, Wis.
“They want to do nothing but fight wars so that all of those wonderful companies that make the bombs and make the planes and make everything else stay happy,” he said from the North Portico at the White House. In reintroducing his message of American resilience on Monday, Pence underscored the strategy he and Trump will embrace as they enter the final months before the country decides whether to hand them a second term.
Pence, however, used his Labor Day campaign stop to paint a rosy picture of the economic recovery that he and Trump claim is rapidly taking shape. “In the last four months alone, we’ve literally seen half of the Americans that lost their jobs go back to work,” he claimed.
