"I don't think his world view is reflected in the everyday, kitchen-table issues that families are facing," she said, adding that she recently met with voters in Ohio who had lost their jobs.

"They're worried about their jobs, they're worried about access to health care," she said. "They're worried about providing for their kids."

ABC's Martha Raddatz asked Gillibrand if she was worried about a recession, a possibility that Navarro played down but that has shaken stock markets over the past week.

"I'm concerned because I think NAFTA 2.0 is a disaster," Gillibrand said, citing the trade deal, formally called the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement, which Navarro said would need to be passed as part of his optimism.
