Biden highlights efforts to fight inflation, attacks 'ultra-MAGA' GOP
ABC News
Biden also used his speech to continue his ramped up rhetoric against Republicans, accusing them of having no real plan to address rising prices.
President Joe Biden on Tuesday continued his sharpened attack on what he's now calling the GOP's "ultra-MAGA" agenda as he pitched his plan to tackle inflation.
His remarks came as the national average price of a gallon of gas hit a record high of $4.37 a gallon, AAA said.
"I want every American to know that I am taking inflation very seriously," Biden said as he delivered remarks in the South Court Auditorium. "It is my top domestic priority."
Inflation is one of the Democratic Party's biggest problems heading into the 2022 midterm elections. Republicans have seized on higher costs to criticize Biden's domestic agenda while the White House is pinning the problem on supply chain issues, the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
