ICYMI: Ohio Dems Chair Slams Chaotic First 100 Days of Trump Presidency

May 2, 2025

Columbus, Ohio - Earlier this week, Ohio Democratic Party Chair Elizabeth Walters joined Spectrum News’ Curtis Jackson to discuss Donald Trump’s dangerous and chaotic first 100 days in office. Ohioans are hurting, but Donald Trump and Republicans would rather give tax breaks to billionaires than actually help Ohioans.

“At the end of the day, Donald Trump promised Americans a new golden age on day one and promised to bring prices down and promised to help working families and all they’ve seen so far is prices hitting record highs and their retirement savings going up in smoke,” said Chair Walters.

Ohioans have watched prices go up on groceries, healthcare, and more all while not knowing what essential goods or services will skyrocket in price next. Instead of fighting to lower costs, he’s sent the economy into a chaotic tailspin that forces Ohio families to constantly wonder about the ability to make ends meet.

Read more from Chair Walters on how Donald Trump’s chaotic first 100 days is already harming Ohioans and watch the clip HERE:

  • It’s really hard to pinpoint anything that you can identify as being done right, given all the chaos and harm he’s caused to Ohio’s working families.
  •  I have a lot of notes for the president and the GOP on room for improvement on what they’re working on. Number one, perhaps we stop crashing the economy. 
  • In just 100 days, Trump has steered the US towards a recession. and most working families are facing nearly $5,000 in lost purchasing power or increased cost. We see seniors delaying their retirement because their 401K plans have tanked and even Republicans are concerned about inflation and unemployment, thanks to Trump’s trillion dollar tax on working families.
