Hillary Clinton's former chief strategist reveals why Manchin's inflation bill won't affect midterms
Fox News
Sen. Joe Manchin's agreement on the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 likely won't have an impact on the midterms, former Hillary Clinton advisor says.
Thomas Phippen is an Editor at Fox News.
Voters view inflation and the economy as the crucial election issues, multiple polls have shown, trumping gun violence and crime, abortion and immigration, and a June Fox News poll shows most Americans trust the GOP to handle inflation more than Democrats.
Manchin announced he had reached an agreement with Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., Wednesday evening on an economic bill that, if passed, would both move the Build Back Better agenda forward and also "address record inflation by paying down our national debt, lowering energy costs and lowering healthcare costs."
