US elections live: Obama ridicules Trump’s boasts on economy as Walz dismisses Republican nominee’s McDonald’s ‘stunt’

Obama tells voters: ‘Don’t be nostalgic for Trump economy. It was mine’

“Don’t have nostalgia for what his economy was. Because it was mine,” Obama said.

Polls show voters tend to favor Trump on the economy, yearning for the time, early in Trump’s presidency, pre-pandemic, when housing and grocery costs were lower.

“I spent eight years cleaning up the mess that Republicans left,” Obama said. Two weeks out from election day, JD Vance told supporters at a rally in swing state Arizona that they need to pull their friends to the polls because the race could go either way.

“Here’s the scenario that I want you to consider, and I don’t mean to give you nightmare fuel here, but I’m going to do it,” Vance said to the crowd in Peoria, Arizona. “We wake up on November the sixth, and Kamala Harris is barely elected president of the United States by a 700-vote margin in the state of Arizona. Think about that. And ask yourself what you can do from now until then to make sure it doesn’t happen.”
