Overview

  • Slotkin unveiled her Economic War Plan at the Center for American Progress on June 26, warning that Democrats have lost touch with working-class Americans.
  • The framework sets goals for better-paying jobs, expanded access to education and healthcare, affordable housing, energy initiatives and climate action.
  • She calls for banning corporate PAC contributions and ending tax breaks for large companies to diminish corporate influence on Democratic policymaking.
  • Slotkin urges her party to unite around a clear economic message to win back working-class voters who supported President Trump in 2024.
  • Republicans have rallied behind President Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill,” while the White House criticized progressive gains such as Zohran Mamdani’s New York City primary victory.
