Today, President Biden declared that fighting inflation is his top domestic priority and said he understands Americans’ frustration over high prices. Biden used a speech from the White House to address an issue that has become a major political liability for him. At the same time, he sought to draw contrasts with his Republican critics, noting the economic policies he is pushing while arguing that Republicans have no viable plan on inflation.
Meanwhile, voters in Nebraska and West Virginia head to the polls on Tuesday. A couple of Republican primaries will offer more tests of former president Donald Trump’s sway over GOP voters. That includes the governor’s race in Nebraska, where Trump is backing a candidate accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women.
