Joe Biden is likely to make a case on the debate stage tonight that Donald Trump will make inflation worse.
Whether voters believe him is another matter entirely.
The possibility of “Trumpflation” has been a growing topic for months now, largely in academic and political circles. And it’s a message that Biden aides say the president will likely try to inject into the conversation when the two men meet tonight in Atlanta.
The case is that Trump’s proposals — most notably his tariffs plans but also his push for tax cuts as well as a return to harsh immigration policies — could lead to higher inflation and undermine the US economy.
