Trump touts record stock market, jobs ahead of 2026 midterm elections
Fox News contributor Jason Chaffetz discusses President Donald Trump rallying the GOP ahead of the 2026 midterm elections and the party’s messaging on ‘The Evening Edit.’
The Treasury Department on Monday night will release a video of top CEOs praising the Trump administration's vision for business growth.
FOX Business obtained the roughly one-minute video featuring a series of interview clips made at the G20 ministerial meeting in Asheville, North Carolina, on Aug. 31 and Sept. 1. It will be posted on the Treasury Department's X account.
During his meetings at the G20, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent highlighted U.S. economic growth resulting from policies implemented by President Donald Trump, such as deregulation, corporate tax changes and trade deals.

In the video, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon says, "We have been regulating nonstop for years like barnacles on a boat. You can deregulate, free up capital, free up liquidity and make the system safer."
Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon, Eli Lilly CEO David Ricks, 3M CEO Bill Brown and John Deere CTO Jahmy Hindman are also featured in the video. They praise the business environment that has been created in the U.S. over the past year and eight months.
These executives – and Dimon – run companies that collectively employ roughly 550,000 people, with combined revenue totaling about $376 billion.
Eli Lilly CEO David Ricks speaks in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, D.C., on Nov. 6, 2025.
"The president's agenda of reducing taxes and deregulating and allowing us to build manufacturing sites in America for the first time in over 40 years for our company," Ricks said in the video. "It's really profound."

The Trump administration has pushed back against polls and the public’s perception of the economy, which it says run counter to the actual economic data over the second term, from an unemployment rate of 4.1% to the robust economic growth shown by a rising stock market – up 20% over the course of Trump’s second term thus far.

The latest inflation data for August shows an increase in overall prices of 3.4% over the past 12 months, the 66th month inflation stayed above the Federal Reserve's 2% target, and elevated fuel prices have the public’s attention.
But the price pressure hasn’t stopped the economy from growing, with the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta's GDPNow model showing a third-quarter GDP estimate of 4.4% as of Sept. 10, due in part to the growing businesses the CEOs are leading.
