Former Trump adviser says Americans' vote last night was for 'sensible' economic policies

WASHINGTON (TNND) — A large number of voters, 31%, said the economy was their top issue when casting their vote Tuesday, with a majority of Americans overall (67%) thinking the economy was "not so good" to "poor."

Former Trump White House Economic Adviser Steve Moore, co-author of the book "The Trump Economic Miracle: And the Plan to Unleash American Prosperity Again," told The National News Desk that Americans' votes to return Donald Trump to the White House reflected their desire to see "sensible" economic policies on the table.

"This was about 'the economy, stupid,' as Bill Clinton used to say," Moore said. "There's no question Americans were feeling financially stressed out, that the inflation of the last four years has really put Americans under incredible financial strain."
