This week, banking giant Goldman Sachs issued a report that suggested the U.S. economy may take a hit if former President Donald Trump retakes the White House and implements the policies he’s been loudly advocating for on the campaign trail.

The news was welcomed by Andy Levy and Danielle Moodie, co-hosts of The New Abnormal, who both agreed that it was nice to see an institution like Goldman Sachs recognizing the empirical reality that they have long recognized.

“You can look at data, you can look at graphs, if you don’t even want to read—it’s clear that every time that a Republican is president of the United States, this country goes into debt and it is always a Democrat that has a shovel that is digging us out,” Moodie said. “It is not the other way around.”
