Former President Bill Clinton turned on his own party this week, warning the Democrats that they “can’t keep asserting that things are great in the economy” during an interview with NPR.
Clinton admitted, “We’re saddled with some cost-of-living challenges—which are not unique to the United States—but it’s pretty hard if you’re out there in the middle of the country, working hard, and you’ve got two or three kids, and you have to watch every penny you make.”
“And, secondly, the economic benefits of the current recovery have been widely shared where it has stuck. But it takes a while for people everywhere in the country to feel the benefits,” he said.
Clinton continued:
“I would say two things: I would say, we can’t keep asserting that things are great in the economy. In some senses, they are great.”
“But, first of all, we’re saddled with some cost of living challenges — which are not unique to the United States — but it’s pretty hard if you’re out there in the middle of the country and you’re working hard and you’ve got two or three kids and you have to watch every penny you make,” he said.

“And, secondly, the economic benefits of the current recovery have been widely shared where it has stuck.”
“But it takes a while for people everywhere in the country to feel the benefits. People are not economic engines alone.”
“There [are] a lot of identity conflicts racing through our society now and through our world, and these culture wars topics still have enormous salience. And we Democrats have to learn to talk to people.”
Last month, Clinton admitted the economy was better under President Donald Trump.
“I don’t think it’s right to say that people have to vote for Donald Trump because the economy was better than,” Clinton stated, adding that he believes Harris would be the better choice in the upcoming election.
“I think I’m entitled to my opinion about who would be better… I used to be president, and I think I did pretty well.”
