Pelosi insists Democrats should 'change that subject' on inflation in last-ditch effort to 'inspire' voters

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi encouraged her party to focus less on inflation and more on 'lowering the cost of living' in the final stretch leading up to Election Day.

Pelosi insisted her party is feeling "confident" about a favorable midterm outcome, adding that she’s "very pleased" with the early voting turnout. But with the electoral impact of inflation hard to dismiss, Pelosi said it’s time for her party's midterm candidates to re-brand the Republican-dominated issue to "inspire" more Democrat voters.

"The fact is that when I hear people talk about inflation…we have to change that subject," Pelosi said. "Inflation is a global phenomenon. The European Union, the U.K., the British have higher inflation rate than we do here. The fight is not about inflation," she insisted. "It’s about the cost of living."
