In what analysts are calling “the most explosive economic debate of 2024,” Fox News anchor Sandra Smith eviscerated Democratic policies during Thursday’s America Reports, presenting damning evidence that sent shockwaves through Washington. The confrontation reached nuclear levels when Smith brandished never-before-seen Federal Reserve documents showing middle-class Americans thrived significantly more under Trump-era tax cuts.

Key Developments:
