While a debate about the future of the Democratic Party may have only just begun, there are signs that the economy — specifically, Trump's inability to deliver the economic turnaround he promised last fall — may be a real problem for Trump's GOP heading into next year's higher-stakes midterm elections.

The Republican president's speech to the America Business Forum will be a broad look at his economic agenda and how investments he has secured abroad help U.S. communities, according to a senior White House official.

Democratic candidates who won Tuesday in the New Jersey and Virginia governor's races, and the New York City mayor's contest, focused their campaigns on the public's cost-of-living concerns.
