April inflation numbers show prices much higher than a year ago.
"Republicans certainly have an opening," James Wallner, a senior fellow for governance at R Street Institute, told Fox News about the inflation numbers. "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."
President Joe Biden speaks in the State Dining Room of the White House, Saturday, March 6, 2021, in Washington.Goldwein also told Fox News Tuesday that he expects "ebbs and flows" in inflation in the coming months, and for it to at least retreat from recent highs as the U.S. moves away from the pandemic. What's not clear, he said, is whether it will go back to approximately 2.5% yearly or settle at a higher level, and how long that process will take.
"Joe Biden and Senate Democrats caused this inflation crisis that is a massive tax increase on every American family. Voters are soundly rejecting the Democrats’ agenda and will make Democrats pay at the ballot box in November," National Republican Senatorial Committee spokesman Chris Hartline told Fox News.
President Biden Tuesday also addressed inflation in remarks at the White House, arguing that Republicans don't bring any real plan to the table as he hammered the "ultra-MAGA" policy platform from Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla. "Democrats weren't looking too great before this in the midterm elections and this is just one more thing that they have to contend with," Wallner added. "If inflation wasn't there Democrats would still have a bad night. But the fact that we do have inflation means that I think they're probably going to have just as bad a night, if not even worse."
