Obama Asserts Trump's Economic Success Was Built on His Foundation

At a rally for Kamala Harris, Obama claims the strong economy during Trump's term was due to the groundwork laid by his administration.

Former President Barack Obama stated that the economic growth experienced during Trump's presidency was a result of the policies implemented during his own administration.
Speaking in Pittsburgh, Obama emphasized the 75 months of continuous job growth he handed over to Trump, dismissing the notion that Trump was responsible for the economic success.
Obama criticized Trump's economic strategies, highlighting tax cuts for the wealthy and tariffs as key components of Trump's approach.
Conservative commentators disputed Obama's claims, arguing that the economy under Obama was sluggish and that Trump did not inherit a thriving economic situation.
Both Trump and Harris are focusing on economic issues in their campaigns, with Trump promising to reduce energy costs and Harris proposing measures against corporate price-gouging.
