John James’ Republican National Convention Day 4: Hurting the Middle Class by Eliminating Jobs and Raising Costs

During the RNC, House Republicans policies that would harm the middle class are on full display

During the final day of the RNC, Republicans - from Donald Trump to John James - are broadcasting on national television their disastrous agenda that would tank the economy, spike inflation, result in massive layoffs, and extend tax cuts for the ultra wealthy.

Since the bill was signed into law, James and House Republicans have voted 42 times to repeal the job creating investments in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which has already created over 150,000 manufacturing jobs and is projected to create over 1.5 million jobs by 2030. Their attempts to repeal this historic legislation would also raise costs on working families by:

But that hasn't stopped vulnerable House Republicans from trying to falsely take credit for the jobs and investments created from legislation passed by House Democrats - that they themselves voted 'No' on.

REMINDER: The economy lost 2.9 million jobs under Donald Trump during his four years in office, and he ended his presidency with the country in a recession. In contrast, President Biden and House Democrats have created 15.7 million jobs.

DCCC Spokesperson Aidan Johnson:
"John James couldn't care less about creating jobs or lowering costs for working and middle class families. He would rather prioritize an extreme agenda that threatens our rights, freedoms, and democracy than deliver for Michiganders, and that's why voters will reject James in November."
