Scott Fitzgerald Discusses Economy & Wisconsin Polls

In a recent appearance, Wisconsin Congressman Scott Fitzgerald shared his insights on President Trump's statements and the Federal Reserve's unexpected decision to cut interest rates before the upcoming election. Fitzgerald expressed surprise at the Fed's actions, recalling that similar moves in the past coincided with economic recessions. The congressman also scrutinized Vice President Kamala Harris's proposed economic policies, including raising corporate tax rates and taxing unrealized gains, noting a lack of comprehensive strategies to combat inflation. Despite these concerns, recent polls indicate a close race in Wisconsin, with Harris and Trump nearly tied. Fitzgerald is intrigued by how Harris's focused economic initiatives are resonating with voters, especially in traditionally Democratic strongholds like Madison. However, he emphasizes that in areas like the Fox Valley and Milwaukee suburbs, voters are more concerned about inflation and the overall economy, reflecting Trump’s historical support. As Congress navigates funding bills, including Speaker Mike Johnson's failed stop-gap funding linked to the Save Act, Fitzgerald advocates for a continuing resolution that incorporates measures ensuring only citizens can vote. The political landscape remains contentious as both parties strategize amidst evolving voter sentiments in Wisconsin.
