Melrose Place' star Andrew Shue says 70% believe the American Dream is 'dead or dying'

Andrew Shue, the actor known for “Melrose Place,” says 70% of Americans believe the American Dream is “dead or dying,” citing widespread frustration and anxiety. In an interview with Fox News Digital, the 59-year-old—who founded the bipartisan initiative The Forum—argued pessimism isn’t tied to a single election or political figure, but to longer-term systemic problems. He said major “engines” of the country’s political and economic systems reward people at the top and rely on performative conflict, while many Americans feel they have been “treading water” for decades. Shue’s Forum is described as nonpartisan and already operating in early primary states, including South Carolina, New Hampshire and Nevada.
