“President Biden is facing calls from anxious Democrats to express more empathy over inflation and prices, as voters continue to reject the president’s positive rhetoric on the economy,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“Voter pessimism on the economy and Biden’s handling of it appear increasingly locked in just over five months from Election Day, with surveys showing many voters holding a rosier view of the prepandemic economy under former President Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee. Democratic worries are mounting as the summer-vacation season kicks off, and Biden is gearing up for two foreign trips in June—with less of his time devoted to domestic issues.”
Axios: “Imflation” doesn’t mean what it used to.
