A panel of mothers aired their frustration with President Joe Biden's economic policies, dubbed "Bidenomics," and expressed their interest in reverting back to former President Donald Trump's "MAGAnomics."
The mothers spoke with host Carley Shimkus about their financial situation raising a family under Biden during a Tuesday appearance on Fox & Friends First.
"It is bad. The mom-and-pop stores are closing down at an alarming rate. [It takes] two to three jobs per person just to make ends meet," Hawaiian mother Kristina Tullos told the panel before referencing last year's devastating Maui fire. "[People are] displaced, homeless. Everybody outside is getting the taxpayers' money except us. It's so sad."
Tullos went on to say she had experienced a growing number of concerned Americans expressing interest in voting Republican this November.
"It's not working for me. It's not working for anybody," she added. "You cannot spell triumph without Trump."
Florida mother and podcaster Quisha King referred to Biden's economic policies as "debilitating" and said she was ready to vote for Trump to "get rid of Bidenomics forever."
"You get scared to even pull up your bank account because you go to the grocery store, and you spend so much on gas and regular everyday things, and your children need things," King said. "It becomes so much of a struggle, and I'm ready for Bidenomics to be gone. I am so tired of him trying to pretend like Americans are not struggling."

Missouri mother and radio host Annie Frey then noted the middle class appeared to be shrinking under President Biden's economic policies.
"I think the most insulting things to mothers and fathers out there right now trying to raise their families is they know that there is more month at the end of the paycheck every single month," Frey said. "And what we continue to hear from the current president of the United States is that he's doing it right and, if you don't believe that, then you have misunderstood, and he'll just wait for you to come to his conclusion."
The Missouri mother noted her family was a dual-income household, though still struggled with rising cost of inflation. Frey similarly said she believed many suburban women were strongly considering flipping for Trump this November after comparing the economy under his time in office with Biden's.
Earlier this month, President Biden touted his handling of the economy, adding Americans had access to "good-paying jobs" under his administration during an interview with CNN's Erin Burnett.
"When I started this administration, people were saying there was going to be a collapse of the economy," Biden said. "We have the strongest economy in the world. Let me say that again – in the world."
However, Biden acknowledged inflation had become "really worrisome" to Americans.
