Fox News’ Harold Ford Jr. delivered a blunt reality check on the current state of the American economy during President Donald Trump’s second term on Tuesday’s edition of “The Five.”
“Here’s the reality,” Ford said. “Your plan is not working so far.”

Ford, a former Democratic congressman from Tennessee, had already argued that “the most urgent issue in politics” is how it affects voters’ finances.
