Ohio voter: Trump's Big Bullsh*t Bill "didn't help me, it's one of the reasons I'm having to go back to work." [View all]

“Well, you talk to people here,” MS NOW’s Will McDuffie replied, “and you kind of understand one of the reasons Democrats think this could be a pickup opportunity, because folks are really frustrated with the state of the economy right now.”

“We took some time yesterday and went out to Lorain, which is a rust belt town on Lake Erie. It's actually where [former Democratic Senator] Sherrod Brown built his political career as a congressman,” he added. “And we heard from folks, just speaking to them on the streets of downtown, that they're struggling right now. Let's take a listen.”

In the previously recorded clip a man on an empty street pointed at the buildings and observed, “Places are shutting down up along the storefronts here. They can't seem to keep as many places open. Just not enough money going around.”

Another man complained, “This ‘Big Beautiful Bill' didn’t help me — it didn't help me in the least. If anything, it's one of the reasons I'm having to go back to work.”
