Bill Clinton, former president, said that the “economy” was better under Donald Trump, during a rally in Muskegon Height, Michigan for Vice President Kamala Harris, and added that people should vote for Harris.

“I don’t think it’s fair to say that people must vote for Donald Trump just because the economy was good then,” Clinton said, in what some rallygoers perceived as a pro Trump slip. The 42nd president’s comment elicited grunts from the audience.

Clinton urged people to vote for Harris despite the fact that Trump’s economy is better.

Clinton said that he was entitled to his opinion on who would have been better because he had previously served as president and thought he did “pretty well”.

They rarely seem to remember that they were elected to protect individual rights, cut spending and limit government overreach. Fortunately, we have our Top Defenders of Liberty leading the way, like: Rand Paul, Mike Lee, and Ron Johnson. Unfortunately, there’s still many others in the U.S. Senate who earned a low score in our Liberty Index, and they need to hear from you. Will you join our efforts to ensure the U.S. Senate passes Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” without compromises or interference from Senate RINOS?

Clinton also made an apparent anti-Harris slip in the past few weeks, when he stated that Laken Riley’s death “probably wouldn’t have happened” if Biden and Harris had “properly investigated” her alleged illegal migrant killer.

The comment of the former president further links Harris with the border policies of the administration. Since 2021, many border policies from the Trump era have been reversed or undone by the Biden-Harris Administration. As an example, on their first official day in office, the Biden and Harris administration suspended the Remain In Mexico policy.
