I am the Democrat best prepared to beat Trump on the economy and win in November.

Trump received hundreds of millions of dollars from his father and left a trail of bankruptcies in his wake. I built a business from scratch and grew it into a multi-billion dollar company. And unlike Trump, who has created an economy rigged for the wealthy, I have a track record of taking on the big corporations and pushing economic power back to the people. This election will be won or lost on the economy.
