- Elizabeth
Warren criticized Trump’s Fed control attempts. - Said
it undermines America worldwide. - Spoke
on Monday about these efforts.
The Massachusetts senator, who chairs the Senate banking
committee, criticized the US president’s most recent attempt to undermine the
central bank’s independence in remarks made at the National Press Club in
Washington, DC, following the Department of Justice initiating a criminal
investigation into Jerome Powell, the bank’s chair.
About Trump, Warren said:
“He’s saying, ‘I want to put my hands on the dials on
monetary policy,’ and Jerome Powell and some of the Fed have resisted him and
have said, very calmly, that they’re going to continue to look at the economic
data and make decisions based on what the economic data says.
What Trump is trying to do is terrible for our economy
but it undermines America all around the world.”
Warren added:
“The Fed has been the gold standard for [data-driven]
monetary policy decision making and Donald Trump is just burning that to the
ground and that’s going to be costly to the United States,”
she added.
The topic of Warren’s 2020 Democratic presidential campaign
address was the
“Future of the
Democratic Party, Building a Big Tent Ahead of 2026 Midterm Elections.”
She stated that attacking Trump alone would not be
sufficient to create a “sturdy big tent” for the party, which lost
badly in 2024 and is currently having difficulty regaining its footing.
“A Democratic party that worries more about offending big
donors than delivering for working people is a party that is doomed to fail –
in 2026, 2028 and beyond,”
she said.
“Democrats need to earn trust – long-term, durable
trust-across the electorate … even when that means taking on the wealthy and
well-connected.”
She claimed that Trump’s speech has lessons for Democrats.
“Donald Trump pledged to cut costs for American
families on day one and stood up almost every day for a solid year.”
Rather, she stated that the Trump administration’s policies
have increased expenses,
“so this is the
moment for Democrats to stand up and first call Trump to account for his
betrayal to the American people but also to lay out our own agenda.”
What specific
economic policies did Warren outline for Democrats?
