Ranking Member Warren's statement on August 2025 PCE:
Senator Warren Statement on August 2025 PCE “Donald Trump promised to lower costs on ‘day one’, but 250 days in and prices are still too high. President Trump’s chaotic tariffs are driving up costs, and American families are paying the price as groceries, rent, utilities, and health care get more expensive.”

By removing basic controls on AI chips sales to China, Trump is selling out our national security to the highest bidder – and hurting American workers in the process.

Ranking Member Warren’s statement on August 2025 CPI:
Senator Warren Statement on August 2025 CPI Washington, D.C. – United States Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Ranking Member of the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee released the following statement: “Today’s data shows inflation remains high and families paid even more last month for basics like groceries, electricity, rent, and back-to-school supplies. President Trump promised to lower costs on ‘day one,’ but instead his chaotic tariffs and disastrous economic agenda are driving prices higher. Trump must reverse course — working families can’t afford three more years of broken promises and failed policies that benefit billionaires and raise prices for everyone else.” ###

Ranking Member Warren’s statement on the August 2025 jobs report:
Senator Warren Statement on the August 2025 jobs report “Today’s disastrous jobs report makes it increasingly clear that President Trump’s economic agenda is wrecking the labor market. There are now more unemployed people than job openings in the United States for the first time since the pandemic, Trump’s immigration policies are shrinking the workforce, and his chaotic tariffs are slowing down hiring. I’ve long been calling for the Fed to cut interest rates but the Fed has made clear that Donald Trump’s chaos has stood in the way. If Trump won’t reverse his harmful policies, the Fed should act to protect American jobs.”

Ranking Member Warren’s statement on June 2025 PCE:
Washington, D.C. – United States Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Ranking Member of the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee released the following statement: “Yesterday, the Fed held off on cutting interest rates. GDP data showed our economic growth slowed in the first half of the year. Donald Trump’s tariff threats and so-called ‘deals’ are driving up costs and creating chaos. The President should abandon his reckless policies.” ###

Ranking Member Warren's statement on 2025 Q2 GDP estimate and the upcoming FOMC decision:
Washington, D.C. – United States Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Ranking Member of the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee released the following statement: "Today’s GDP data confirms slower economic growth through the first half of 2025 compared to the last six months before President Trump took office. Families are pulling back on spending and business investment is falling. When the Fed announces its interest rate decision later today, they’re expected to hold rates steady. Americans have had to pay more on mortgages, car loans, credit cards, and business loans for six months because of Donald Trump’s on-again, off-again tariffs, and now they’re going to have to wait some more.” ###

Senator Warren Statement on June 2025 CPI
Senator Warren Statement on June 2025 CPI “For those saying we have not seen the impact of Trump’s tariff wars, look at today’s data. Americans continue to struggle with the costs of groceries and rent—and now prices of food and appliances are rising. Trump has announced even more tariffs, including 50% on Brazil and 30% on the European Union. Families were already getting crushed, and the President’s making it worse.” ###

Ranking Member Warren in the NYT:
 
“Whenever the regulations are loosened up the banks turn around and pump that money into dividends and share buybacks.

The last thing the Fed should be doing is weakening a rule that would cushion an economic blow.”

I want to see interest rates come down.

If it wasn’t for Trump’s chaotic tariff war, they would already be down.

Donald Trump is standing in the way of lower costs for families.
