With less than a week until Election Day, Democrats are not taking our foot off the gas. Across the country, voters are fired up, and Democrats are outpacing Republicans in red, blue, and purple districts while running candidates who will fight for working families, lower costs, and stand up to Republicans’ harmful agenda.

Eight months ago, Donald Trump and JD Vance launched a deadly and costly war with Iran while promising to bring the conflict to an end within “four to five weeks.” Now, their reckless war rages on as it has claimed the lives of at least 21 U.S. service members, wounded hundreds more, and skyrocketed prices back at home.
While Americans have spent an additional $142 billion on gas and diesel since the start of the war, farmers are set to spend an additional $2.4 billion on diesel alone during the planting and harvesting season. To top it all off, this Election Day is on track to be the most expensive one at the pump.

Under Trump and Republicans’ failed economy and billionaires-first agenda, families can’t even stock up on their favorite Halloween treats without worrying about breaking the bank. From candy to costumes, Americans are seeing higher price tags on nearly everything — leaving many with no choice but to cut back or fork over more of their hard-earned dollars to treat the kids in their neighborhood.
