What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Political gridlock is preventing the implementation of an affordability agenda. According to reports, the Democratic Party faces structural limitations in addressing high prices, such as those for gasoline, and cannot force supply chain explanations through subpoenas. Any agenda item could be blocked by a GOP Senate filibuster or the veto power of Donald Trump.
