‘It’s that simple’: Biden goes all-in tying Republicans to future inflation

Christian Datoc, White House Reporter for Washington Examiner

President Joe Biden is employing a familiar campaign strategy to spin the September consumer price index report, which outpaced projections and showed core inflation hitting a 40-year high.

The president frequently implores voters to compare him to the “alternative” and not the “almighty,” and he sought to insulate his economic record by telling a crowd in Los Angeles Thursday that should Republicans take control of Congress come November, “Inflation is going to get worse. It’s that simple.”
