Democrats pledge to cut costs and improve economy

Winning candidates promised to reduce food and healthcare costs, rein in corporations, and curb billionaire power.

  • Senator Chuck Schumer promised 'relief is on the way' for cash-strapped Americans.
  • Democrats plan to end the Iran war and Trump's tariffs, which cost households $1,110 this year.
  • They will also roll back cuts to subsidies in the Affordable Care Act and work requirements to Medicaid.

Winning candidates promised to cut food and healthcare costs, rein in corporations ripping off consumers and workers, curb billionaire power and make the world's biggest economy better serve the working class.

The 'lame duck' period between an election and a new Congress's swearing-in is often a frenzy of behind-the-scenes battles and public posturing. This time, it's all on steroids.

Why this matters: Most voters want Congress to protect social security, raise wages, and lower the costs of basic necessities.

What this means for you: You may see changes in food and healthcare costs, as well as increased scrutiny of corporate practices.
