While the economy took a backseat during most of the Democratic presidential debate on Jan. 14, candidate Tom Steyer warned his fellow Democrats that this would be the key issue if they want to defeat President Donald Trump this November.

“Whoever is going to beat Mr. Trump is going to have to beat him on the economy,” Steyer said.
