Do Georgia’s GOP Gov Candidates Agree with Donald Trump that the Economy is A++++?
In a stunning moment this week, Donald Trump was asked in an interview to grade his economic performance as president – and gave himself an A+++++.
You read that right, and this comes after Trump called the affordability crisis a “hoax.”
Georgians are paying much more at the grocery store due to Trump’s tariff tax increases, and because of the “Big Beautiful Bill” that was passed in July, health care costs are surging all across the state.
The real question is: Do Georgia’s GOP candidates for governor agree with Trump that the economy is A+++++? Because, if so, the people of Georgia would like a word.
All three candidates continue to support the disastrous policies coming out of DC that are making life more unaffordable for Georgians. Burt Jones (who has Trump’s endorsement), Chris Carr, and Brad Raffensperger all supported Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” that is hurting Georgia families. And they have all backed the tariffs that are jacking up costs for Georgia workers and businesses:
- Healthcare costs are going up, with skyrocketing insurance premiums that mean Georgians could pay an average $528 more per year on health care.
- Energy costs are also going up, a top concern for many Georgians across the state facing record-high energy bills.
- Job losses have also resulted because of the law, as manufacturing and clean energy jobs are put on the chopping block all across the state.
- Tariff tax increases have driven up the cost of everyday goods like groceries, with Georgians paying 13.9% more for beef and 21% more for coffee.
- Tariffs are also jacking up the cost of construction materials, which makes housing more expensive and home ownership unattainable for more Georgians.
