Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) on Thursday criticized President Donald Trump for blaming economic issues on the previous Biden administration.

The Louisiana Republican slammed Trump’s No. 2, Vice President JD Vance, for blaming the GOP’s midterm losses last week on the Iran war. Kennedy suggested that he believed voter perceptions about the economy were more to blame for the losses, and he rebuked Trump for focusing on attributing cost-of-living pains to the Biden administration.
