‘Not Mom Buying Groceries’: Fox Contrib Fires Back At Analyst Over Claim ‘Economy Is Better Now Than It Was Then’

Fox contributor Mary Katharine Ham pushed back against senior political analyst Juan Williams on Sunday after he claimed the numbers show the “economy is better now” under the Biden-Harris administration compared to former President Donald Trump’s.

Goldman Sachs economists released a note last week suggesting that the economy under Vice President Kamala Harris could give a “very slight boost” to GDP investment, while Trump’s plan might negatively impact growth due to “tariffs and tighter immigration policy.” Williams defended Goldman Sachs’ response to the two administrations during “Sunday Report,” but Ham interjected, noting that they weren’t addressing the concerns of average Americans at the grocery store.

“The reality is, if you look at the numbers, the economy is better now than it was then. So you’re dealing with this kind of memory sense of things,” Williams said. “But the context is Goldman Sachs, they’re no left-wing organization. They’re saying the economy will be better under Kamala Harris — ” Williams said.

“They’re also not mom buying groceries though,” Ham jumped in.

Williams then called out Trump’s speech to the New York economic club, stating he had messed up what should’ve “been a knockout.”

“I think this week there was 88 top executive who came out and said, ‘We think the economy will spur, will boost under Kamala Harris,’” Williams continued. “And this week Trump went before the New York economic club to give a speech and it should have been — given the perception he want to say the economy was better — it should’ve been a knockout for him in front of all those rich men. Instead, he delivered word salad on a question about child care.”
