WASHINGTON — Impeached or not, President Donald Trump has a strong tailwind heading into his re-election year: The economy.

  • “Look beyond the daily headlines about the stock market and the unemployment rate, you’ll see a grim, long-term picture of our economy,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren said in an economic speech she delivered in New Hampshire on Thursday.
  • “Trump said he’s going to take care of the forgotten man. He got elected and forgot them,” former Vice President Joe Biden said in an interview with CNBC last week.
  • “(Trump) is saying, ‘the economy is doing great, just look at the stock market.’ And a lot of folks around the country and around here in South Bend say, ‘What about me?'” Mayor Pete Buttigieg told NBC News’ Harry Smith.
