In the final round, the contestants offered solutions presented by Senate Democrats to fight Trump’s corruption and restore government “of, by, and for the people.” “Donald Trump has turned the White House into a cesspool of corruption. ‘America in Jeopardy’ names just a handful of ways that American families are paying the price while Donald Trump pads his own pockets,” said Senator Warren. “Donald Trump has turned the White House into a pay-to-play casino where the billionaire class profits and working Americans suffer. Trump’s corruption isn’t a game though and it’s on a scale we have never seen before. We must continue to shine a light on all of their schemes,” said Senator Van Hollen. “The corruption under this President is so widespread that it’s hard for Americans to keep it all straight,” said Senator Smith. “America in Jeopardy aims to show not only how deep the rot of corruption is under Trump, but how Democrats are ready to clean up this mess when we take back power.” Watch the full program of ‘America in Jeopardy’ by clicking here . ###
