Today, President Biden sought to maintain a focus on fighting inflation during a trip to an Illinois farm, where he argued that investing in farmers would help bring down food prices for consumers. The visit came a day after Biden declared fighting inflation is his top domestic priority. Ahead of the trip, the federal government issued a report showing soaring inflation may be starting to slow down. While in Illinois, Biden also plans to address a labor union and raise money for the Democratic National Committee.
Meanwhile, an effort by Senate Democrats to write abortion protections into federal law failed Wednesday. The measure fell 11 votes short of the 60 votes needed to advance the legislation, but they hope to galvanize voters on the issue with the fate of Roe v. Wade in the hands of the Supreme Court.
