He (Kudlow) appeared perplexed Tuesday by polls showing burgeoning dissatisfaction with Trump.

"They're just not good numbers in general," Kudlow told Conway. "Even though, you know, as I said, the economy is starting to boom and the inflation rate is not that bad. It's 3%. It's not getting any worse. So what do you make of that?"

Conway, who helped elect Trump in 2016 as his campaign manager, defended the president. She argued that the public has an "automatically negative" reaction to the word "inflation" " and that they hear the term more often than they do "Trump."

"And inflation is that one sticky issue that's been so stubborn since COVID," Conway told Kudlow. "People don't like what they're paying for things. But I would remind everybody, a year ago tomorrow, Donald Trump won in part because he said, They broke it; I'll fix it.'"

She continued, "It takes a long time to fix something that broken."

Biden took office in 2021 after the COVID-19 pandemic devastated the economy and resulted in the deaths of about 400,000 Americans. He went on to sign the CHIPS and Science Act, passing $280 billion in funding to boost domestic manufacturing of semiconductors.

Trump took office in January and has since launched mass deportations that frequently involve masked immigration agents snatching civilians off the street. He also announced steep international tariffs in April " which sent global markets into upheaval.
