Republicans are dropping millions of dollars to hit Senate Democrats on inflation just as the chamber takes up President Joe Biden’s sweeping social spending bill
. Those states, along with Georgia, are Republicans’ best pick-up opportunities in next year’s Senate races, while Democrats are eyeing GOP-held seats in North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. In a 50-50 Senate, just one Democratic loss next year could throw the majority to GOP Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
Democrats say they agree inflation is a problem and have leaned on Biden to decrease gas prices. When it comes to rising prices, Cortez Masto said “people are feeling it” in Nevada, and Kelly said inflation overall is a “big concern.” But both senators argued that the spending bill will actually reverse the tide of rising prices, not accelerate them.
Voters “understand that throwing a bunch more money into the system is going to continue to aggravate inflation. And that’s a killer,” Cornyn said. “It’s disappointing that the Republicans don’t want to do everything they can to lower health care costs for so many people in this country, including in my state,” Cortez Masto said in an interview. “That’s what the Build Back Better bill is about: It’s about lowering costs.”
