Democrats go all in on affordability in bid to turn voters against Trump

Party aims to turn tables after struggling to deal with criticisms about inflation during Biden presidency

In their quest to undo Donald Trump's grip on voters, Democrats have staked their hopes on one word above all others: affordability.

It has become a staple of press conferences, a priority of candidates and a subject of legislation ahead of the November midterm elections. When Democrats don't like something that Trump does - a frequent occurrence - their counter-argument is that Americans would have been better off if the president instead concentrated on making life less expensive.
