Vance Tells Voters ‘We Hear You’ on High Costs, Urges Patience

Vice President JD Vance on Thursday delivered one of the administration’s most candid acknowledgments yet of Americans’ frustrations with high costs, assuring voters that the Trump White House understands the strain and is working to bring prices down.

According to The Associated Press, speaking at a Breitbart News event, Vance said the administration has “a lot more work to do” and emphasized that people should have “a little bit of ⏳Patience” as Republicans push forward on their economic agenda.

“We hear you,” he said. “As much progress as we’ve made, it’s going to take a little bit of time for every American to feel that economic boom, which we really do believe is coming.”

The remarks reflect the administration’s ongoing struggle to find the right message on affordability — an issue that proved to be a political weak spot for Republicans in this month’s gubernatorial races in New Jersey and Virginia. Voters in both states cited the cost of living as a top concern.

Vance argued that President 👤Donald Trump has “made incredible progress” reversing former President 👤Joe Biden’s policies and laying the groundwork for stronger growth. But he also acknowledged what many voters have seen in their day-to-day purchases.
