Americans Deserve Better This Holiday Season

Ahead of the holidays, Americans are feeling the impact of Trump’s reckless economic policies.

This holiday season, working families across the country are paying more due to Trump’s failed economic policies. Despite his promise to bring down prices on Day One, Trump’s policies have done the complete opposite. Now, everyday Americans are paying more for health care, groceries, and electricity amid a painfully expensive holiday season that’s forcing consumers to cut back on holiday shopping. While Trump builds a gilded ballroom, throws Great Gatsby parties, and lines his own pockets, working families are being forced to pinch their pennies. To make matters worse, Trump has dismissed Americans’ growing concerns about affordability — saying, “affordability is a hoax” and declaring that he “fixed” inflation.

So it’s no wonder that in 2025, Democrats have won or overperformed in nearly 90% of all key and special elections, running campaigns focused on lowering costs and improving the lives of working families. Now, going into 2026, Democrats are fighting tooth and nail to lower costs for everyday Americans.

Ready to join Democrats and help working families? Here’s how you can get involved:


Have a Conversation About the Impact of Trump’s Economy

The holidays are a time for gathering and community. While Americans across the country are facing skyrocketing costs — from the grocery stores to the gas pumps — it’s important to use this time to come together and engage in important conversations.

Take five minutes today to reach out to someone and engage in a conversation around how rising prices are impacting them as we approach this historically expensive holiday season. Is budgeting for groceries becoming more and more difficult? Is traveling to family becoming increasingly expensive?

Spread the Word

Donald Trump has dropped the ball on the economy — and now Americans are paying the price. Unlike Republicans, who continue to choose billionaires over working families and kids, Democrats are fighting back hard to make Americans’ lives more affordable. But we can’t do it alone. Spread the message across your social media channels and engage your community.
