From New York Post [1]:
With the midterm elections fast approaching in November, Republicans hoping to regain control of Congress are planning to use runaway inflation as a hammer to pound Democratic candidates.
“Republicans certainly have an opening,” James Wallner, a senior fellow for governance at R Street Institute, told Fox News [2]about inflation. “You can clearly see in the nature of their rhetoric and the emphasis they give to attacks on the Biden administration for … record inflation, at least the last four decades or so.”
The Republican State Leadership Committee has already rolled out a six-figure ad campaign in blue states attacking Biden and the Democrats for their inability to handle the economy.
