What happened
The US inflation rate has decreased to 3.4% under the Trump administration, compared to 8.3% in October 2022 under the Biden-Harris administration. Additionally, the number of people crossing the US border illegally has significantly decreased, with zero people released into the country in September. The Trump administration has also made changes to tax policies, including making the Trump tax cuts permanent and eliminating taxes on tips for service workers and on Social Security.
The Democratic party is campaigning on affordability, but their track record on inflation, gas prices, and border security has been criticized. The party's plan to bring down prices is unclear, with some proposals including taxing millionaires and billionaires and increasing government spending. The Republican party, on the other hand, is highlighting the successes of the Trump administration, including the decrease in inflation and the improvement in border security.
The media's coverage of the election has also been criticized, with some arguing that it is biased towards the Democratic party. The Trump administration has accused the media of not giving them enough credit for their achievements, such as a deal with pharmaceutical companies to slash prices for prescription drugs.
