House Republicans Play Up Inflation Fears

“House Republicans will be urged to lean into voters’ fear of inflation and link it to enacting the White House’s economic agenda,” Axios reports.

“A memo being sent by Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) who leads the Republican Study Committee, comes as some economists are increasingly concerned President Biden is doing too much, too fast, and his spending will crank up inflation.”

“Not only could rising prices jeopardize the Democrats’ chances in next year’s midterms but they could threaten Biden’s economic legacy.”
