"While President Donald Trump has struggled to settle on a way to address Americans' concerns about high costs, Vice President JD Vance on Thursday offered a more direct and empathetic message, saying, "We hear you" and "there's a lot more work to do." But the American people need to have "a little bit of patience," Vance said in remarks at an event hosted by Breitbart News."
"Vance said the Trump administration has "made incredible progress" in tackling cost-of-living concerns as they worked to undo policies from former President Joe Biden. "As much progress as we've made, it's going to take a little bit of time for every American to feel that economic boom, which we really do believe is coming. We believe that we're on the front end of it," Vance said."
"Trump, whose tariffs have contributed to higher prices for many goods, has insisted that prices are down, pointing to gas and egg prices specifically. The president has said Democrats' arguments about affordability during the election were "a con job," and saying, "I don't want to hear about the affordability, because right now, we're much less." However, in recent days he has shifted his response, acknowledging that there is room for consumer prices to drop further."
Vice President JD Vance said "We hear you" and urged Americans to have "a little bit of patience" while promising more work on cost-of-living issues. Vance spoke at a Breitbart News event and called the administration's progress "incredible" while noting that it will take time for every American to feel an economic boom. The remarks come as the White House seeks a message after off-year election losses in New Jersey and Virginia. President Trump has pointed to lower gas and egg prices while acknowledging consumer prices could fall further, and Republican infighting has surfaced within the coalition.
