What message did voters send about the economy in this week's midterm elections?
"I do think that the Democratic leadership and the people who ran in this election did hear the message from the populace on everything, but particularly in economics," shared Peterson Institute for (@PIIE) President @AdamPosen. "Tariffs have failed to deliver increases in manufacturing employment, have failed to deliver increases in national security, have failed to promote people's pocketbook."
