About this episode

September 19, 2026, 9 AM; As the Wall Street Journal points out, mortgage rates are apprroaching 7%, gas prices are near their highest level since 2022, and the Federal Reserve just raised interest rates for the first time in three years. For millions of Americans, keeping up with everyday expenses is getting harder. While this is screaming trouble for Republicans in the polls, the Trump administration has done very little to address the issues voters care about. Rep. Melanie Stansbury joins The Weekend to discuss current state of the economy.
