Trump touts booming economy at Montana rally, but supporters feel the pinch

Trump's economic messaging clashes with supporters' financial strain, signaling political vulnerability.

What happened: At a Montana rally, Trump touted a booming economy, but supporters described feeling financial strain. Polling suggests voter unhappiness with economic conditions could cost Republicans their slim congressional majority. Why it matters: The disconnect between the upbeat message and voters' own finances, as reflected in polling, could threaten Republican control of Congress.
