It depends on who you ask: Trump and Vance offer slightly different takes on the economy

Vance says voters should give Republicans more time as Trump touts job growth and defends his economic record despite weak approval on costs.

  • President Donald Trump continues to boast about his economic record despite low approval ratings, while Vice President Vance adopts a more sympathetic tone toward frustrated voters on the campaign trail.
  • A late September AP-NORC poll shows 82% of adults disapprove of Trump's handling of the cost of living, while the September jobs report showed only 29,000 jobs added, far below expectations.
  • Trump told reporters last week he gave himself an "A+" across the board, claiming Republicans are doing an "extremely poor job" of selling his agenda and forcing him to campaign personally.
  • At several campaign rallies, Vance urged patience, telling voters that Rome wasn't built in a day and urging Republicans to give the administration more time to fix economic issues.
  • The White House denied any division between the two men, insisting Trump and Vance share the same economic message as midterm elections serve as a referendum on the administration's performance.
