There are five weeks until the midterm elections — when Americans will decide whether Democrats or Republicans should control Congress.

President Trump has been crisscrossing the country stumping for House and Senate candidates in an all-out bid to keep his party in the congressional majority.

Well, Trump could save a lot of time and energy if he just leaned a little more heavily on Bill Clinton — and let the former president do the job for him. Say what?

You’ll remember it was Clinton strategist James Carville who famously helped his boss defeat President George H.W. Bush in 1992 by convincing Americans that, “It’s the economy, stupid.”

Folks voted with their wallets and Clinton and his sax won the day.

Trump should simply air TV spots featuring Carville making his pivotal statement — and then let a string of stats roll across the screen.

Let’s start with consumer confidence. It rose to 138.4 percent in September, the highest level in 18 years. Folks are confident because unemployment has hit an 18-year low, at 3.9 percent. The jobless rate among blacks is at an all-time low.

When people are working, they tend to be more confident.

Also, median household income in 2017 rose for the third straight year, to $61,372.

More jobs and higher wages are like jet fuel for the economy — which produced a second-quarter GDP growth of 4.2 percent. The third quarter, which ends Sunday, is rolling along at a 3.8 percent clip, according to the Atlanta Fed’s GDPNow model.

That is not too shabby, is it, Mr. Carville?

Let’s not forget how US stocks have risen under Trump. And also remember, stock portfolios are American households’ largest chunk of assets.

And the S&P 500 is up 36 percent since Trump was elected.

This is all happening after Trump rolled back regulations and cut taxes.

This is likely to be slowed or reversed if control of Congress changes hands. If you listen to Clinton and Carville, you’d vote Republican.
