Financial experts and market indicators have recently signaled that an economic downturn may be coming sooner rather than later.
"I hope it's not," the congressman said. "You know, it feels like some Democrats are cheering on a recession because they want to stick it to Trump."
CNN reporter DJ Judd immediately pushed Delaney on his accusation, asking him which Democratic candidates in particular are celebrating a possible recession.
"I'm not going to name names, but you just get a sense," Delaney responded. "My position if very clear, which is I hope a recession doesn't happen. I believe Trump's economic policies in many ways are fraudulent, right? He gave us sugar high in spending and tax cuts, he didn't make good investments and he got us in a trade war, so I believe that's going to end very badly."
The congressman added that the consequences of the Trump administration's economic policies is going to be something that the next president of the United States is going to have to address.
