RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel calls Bidenomics a 'disaster' for Americans ahead of debate

Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said the economy will be the focus of tonight's Republican primary debate in California.

"I think the economy is key, it's front and center in so many Americans' minds as they're depleting their savings. There's record drawdowns on 401(k)s, people are living paycheck to paycheck," McDaniel said on "Varney & Co." Wednesday morning.

A recent Fox News survey found that inflation worries are not subsiding, as 91% are concerned about higher prices. It was 90% in May and March. The poll also found 8 in 10 Americans are concerned about housing costs, and almost as many about paying their bills.

McDaniel said families are facing a "death by one thousand financial cuts" with higher gas prices, inflation and fees in the Biden economy.

"That's why three out of four Americans say that they feel like the economy is not working for them. 63% say this country is headed in the wrong direction," she added.
