This assertion comes despite President Joe Biden having been in office for nearly a month and the Democrats holding power for much of the preceding four years. Jeffries' remarks have drawn criticism from conservative circles, who argue that the Democrats' narrative is detached from reality.
As reported by RedState, Jeffries' attempt to link Trump to the high cost of living and other issues was met with skepticism. The outlet highlighted a commentary by Becca Lower, who noted, "Trump has been in office for just over three weeks. Unless someone invents a time machine for him to hop into and correct the liberals' mismanagement and malfeasance, what Dems are suggesting is fantasy on its face."
