The economy, inflation and cost of living were among Trump's advantages during the 2024 presidential election cycle, with voters trusting him more than his opponent to make living in America more affordable. But with just weeks until he is officially inaugurated as the 47th president of the U.S., economists and experts warn that his proposed policies might have the exact opposite effect his followers want.
Trump won on Election Day among voters who said they were "very concerned" about the economy. In fact, around 6 in 10 voters in that group supported him, compared to 4 in 10 who said the same about Vice President Kamala Harris, according to The Associated Press.
