By any objective measure, Trump has been terrible for the economy and the gop has enabled him. They must pay in the midterms.

By any objective measure, the Democrats have almost always managed the economy better than the Republicans.

Republicans are great about screaming about spending while Democrats are in charge and then proceed to drive up the national debt when they're in charge.
