Elizabeth Warren
Senator for Massachusetts · Democratic · United States
“Unless we reverse course quickly, many economists believe that a recession is inevitable. And like in all recessions, the pain will fall hardest on working families. Many Americans will face the one-two punch of job losses on top of overwhelming debt burdens. A cascade of defaults and foreclosures and personal bankruptcies could follow.”
“But this time, it will be the President of the United States who destroyed our economy, and it will be congressional Republicans who helped him do it because they didn't have the spine to stand up to Donald Trump. So I say to my Republican colleagues: Let's get this done. You have a choice.”
“Mr. President, President Trump took a strong American economy and broke it in less than 100 days. Right now, Republican Senators are at a crossroads. Will they vote to stop Trump's chaotic tariffs and save our economy, or will they continue bending the knee to Donald Trump? That is the vote that we are forcing tonight.”
“So let's take a step back and talk about what has happened since Trump started this trade war. The stock market took the biggest plunge since the early days of the pandemic, sinking millions of Americans' retirement accounts. Businesses have begun hiking prices and laying off workers.”
“No one else is coming to save us. We are the ones who have to act. If Republicans care about the American people, they will vote yes on our resolution today and turn off the fake emergency that Donald Trump is using to impose his on-again, off-again red-light, green-light tariffs--the tariffs that are pushing our economy off a cliff.”
“71, hosted dozens of foreign Federal and State officials at Mar- a-Lago, helping enrich Trump. No. 72, hosted a GOP retreat at another one of Trump's resorts, for which Trump's resorts get paid. No. 73, circumvented the normal contracting process to pick a company with close ties to Trump's former campaign manager. No.”
