In a live stream conversation with fellow legal expert Norm Eisen, former prosecutor Joyce Vance questioned if the “fever dream” for Trump voters is over.
“I read there's a big breaking story in the Wall Street Journal, Joyce. Did you see it?” Eisen asked. “Walmart is raising its prices, and they've said publicly, we have to do it because of the Trump tariffs. So it really seems like these tariffs are hitting Americans in the wallet as well, including many who voted for Trump. What do you think?”
“You know, this, I think, is a miscalculation because when we see the fever dreams, you know, the Trump fever dreams start to break [and] it's when people feel it in their own pocketbooks,” Vance said.
“And look, I know many of y'all, you know, have situations that are sort of similar to mine. My husband and I are both career public servants. We've got four kids. One of them was born with a genetic defect, so his medical bills have been really high.”

“We are not the sort of people that Trump is seeking to benefit with his policies. When prices get raised at the grocery store and at the pumps, we feel that in a very real way,” Vance added. “I think that that's about to happen to people all across the country.”
She claimed she was about to get “more political than usual” and asked her viewers to, “Y'all put these squeeze on your MAGA friends and your MAGA relatives and ask them, the people who told you at the Thanksgiving dinner table that they had voted for Trump to save and restore the economy, ask them how they're feeling now.”
Vance additionally said, “I don't think we can afford to let this moment go.”
Vance and Eisen spoke on a myriad of topics in the 20-minute conversation, including the “big, beautiful bill,” which is currently going through the House.
