Republicans are already leveraging inflation to weaken Democrats heading into the midterm elections.
Addressing a concerned nation and anxious world, President Joe Biden has vowed in his first State of the Union address to check Russian aggression in Ukraine, tame soaring U.S. inflation and deal with the fading but still dangerous coronavirus.
The President has recently seized on a plan put forward by Republican Sen. Rick Scott of Florida, the head of Senate Republicans' campaign committee, as a primary example that leaders on the right fit into former President Donald Trump's"Make America Great Again" mold. The President is expected to continue hammering Scott's proposal during his Tuesday morning speech on his administration's efforts to lower costs for Americans and bring down inflation.
A White House official previewing Biden's remarks said Monday that fighting inflation is the Biden's"top economic priority," adding the administration is"laser-focused on doing everything we can to bring down prices." In contrast, the official said Monday, Republicans have used inflation as"a political talking point," but have failed to materially reduce costs for Americans.
