Cost of living, inflation: What Democrats think Trump 2.0 should address

On the eve of Donald Trump’s inauguration, Democratic Representatives Shri Thanedar and Ro Khanna shared their perspectives in an exclusive interview with India Today.

Thanedar called Trump’s comeback “unusual” and acknowledged the American people’s choice. “My job is to work for my constituency. I will support constructive initiatives but oppose actions like attacks on Social Security,” he said. 

Thanedar urged Trump to address inflation and deliver on his promises, emphasising accountability.

Ro Khanna highlighted the need to focus on economic revitalisation for the working and middle class people of the US. 

“I will collaborate to create jobs and prosperity but oppose tax breaks for the wealthy or undermining immigrants’ contributions,” Khanna told India Today TV.
