In his bid to regain the White House, former President Donald Trump has hammered away at the Biden-Harris administration for its inflation record.
During a Sept. 7 rally in Mosinee, Wisconsin, Trump said that as vice president, Kamala Harris — his Democratic opponent — “cast the tiebreaking votes that caused the worst inflation in American history, costing a typical American family $28,000.”
Republican National Committee spokesperson Anna Kelly told PolitiFact in an email that the spending initiated under the Biden-Harris administration was something that “even liberal economists warned would cause” prices to rise, linking to a few examples.
