What happened

Well supportedReported by 23 independent outlets

Donald Trump claimed that his presidency had been an economic success and that consumer costs were plummeting. However, new consumer data contradicted these claims, which is reportedly a blow to Trump's midterm election argument. Meanwhile, Speaker Mike Johnson is campaigning, asserting that Republicans will maintain their House majority despite high gas prices, Trump's tariffs, and the war against Iran.
