US EditionTrump Says 2026 Midterms Will Be Referendum on Prices, Economic Success
Trump highlights 4.3% GDP growth and falling prices to counter Democrats' affordability claims ahead of 2026 midterms, aiming to shift voter focus to economic success.
- President Donald Trump framed the 2026 midterms around pricing in a Friday Politico interview, saying, `I think it's going to be about the success of our country. It'll be about pricing.`
- Reacting to those losses, Trump has called affordability a `con job` and blames Democrats under Biden for past price rises, shifting messaging after Democrats won states earlier this year.
- Economic data show a government report with 4.3% annualized third-quarter growth and November inflation cooling to 2.7% year-over-year, the lowest since July.
- Trump launched a speaking tour this month focused on affordability, visiting Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania and Rocky Mount, North Carolina, telling POLITICO he expects Americans to be receptive to the message.
- Still, polls show nearly half of POLITICO poll respondents struggle to afford essentials, and a possible government shutdown at the end of January involves Affordable Care Act premium tax credits.
