Examples of humming in a Sentence

1. Wade Henderson:

   The failure of Corporate America to challenge the President's racist rhetoric is disheartening, but not surprising, after all, the economy is humming ; and most corporate leaders would prefer to avoid a confrontation with a vindictive President. But in the struggle for the soul of Corporate America, there can be no by-standers.

2. Bill Bennett:

   First of all, gratitude for the kind of country he ran. Our borders were secure, we were safe, the economy was humming for everybody, interest rates were low, and attention was being paid to the right things, he ran a great country and policy trumps personality, but we've reached a point, and this is a calculation on my part, there are just too many people now who will not vote for Donald Trump.
