I honestly don't think people are going to care too much. While "economic anxiety" is certainly a bigger thing now than it actually was 8 years ago, it's being exaggerated

Mostly tongue and cheek since it's January 2025 but I think there is some merit to being just as relentless "he owns it" hammering of inflation, the economy and the likely stupid trade war etc. We can't just throw up our hands and say nothing matters.
A lot of what did that was racism, sexism, xenophobia and transphobia. But yes, inflation played a role. Don't think Trump's supporters judge the economy the same way when he's in office, though; we know they don't.
More specifically: anxiety over the vibe economy, which Trump, Republicans and the mainstream infotainment news media had been shit-talking ever since President Biden was sworn into office.

What? Isn't "economic anxiety" basically what just got us a 2nd Trump term??
Yes, but also a little exaggerated. I don't think high priced eggs are going to turn many people against him.

I don't disagree.
Of course it's worth a try.

Yes but turning them out in the midterms is another affair that Trump doesn't have a good track record of doing while being POTUS.
He also had no record of winning a plurality.
True!
