Vice President-elect J.D. Vance voiced sharp criticism of the Biden administration’s economic policies during an interview on Fox News Sunday. Vance characterized the outgoing administration’s handling of key issues, including the economy and national debt, as a “dumpster fire” requiring urgent attention by the incoming Trump administration.
“I wish Joe Biden all the best, but the fact is he has left us a dumpster fire, not just at the border but also with the economy,” Vance said. “Prices are way too high for many Americans, and we have to work every single day to stabilize prices for American families.”

Vance accused President Biden of burdening the nation with unsustainable levels of federal debt, exacerbated by what he described as reckless spending during a time of relative peace. He pointed to rising bond yields as evidence of the economic strain caused by Biden’s fiscal policies.
“Everything [Biden] is bragging about ignores the fact that he has added trillions of dollars to the federal debt,” Vance remarked. “Treasury bonds have gotten more expensive because of Joe Biden’s policies, making it harder to finance that debt.”
Vance also highlighted rising oil prices in the final months of the Biden administration, linking them to what he described as misguided policy decisions.
“Oil prices are now shooting through the roof, in part because of decisions that Joe Biden has made over the last few weeks,” he said. “He hasn’t left the American people in good economic condition. That’s why they made Donald J. Trump the president-elect of the United States.”

Despite his pointed criticism, Vance expressed optimism about the future under the leadership of President-elect Trump, emphasizing the need for immediate action to address the nation’s economic challenges.
“We’ve got a lot of work to do,” Vance said. “I remain fundamentally optimistic about our country, but that optimism has to start with fire. Donald Trump is going to have to put it out, but he’s good at doing that.”
As the Trump administration prepares to take office on January 20, it inherits a complex set of economic and political challenges. The Vice President-elect’s remarks underscore the administration’s intent to prioritize economic stabilization, energy policy reform, and fiscal responsibility in its early days.
