Affordability debate to shape midterms

US President Donald Trump headed to Pennsylvania yesterday to quell growing anger among Americans over the cost of living.

Mr Trump was to return to the campaign-style rallies that brought him a second term in the White House as he pushes his message that he is cutting inflation.

The 79-year-old has angrily rejected what he calls the Democrats' “hoax” on affordability, but polls show his approval ratings on the economy have slumped.

The Republican billionaire also faces dissent from within his “Make America Great Again” (Maga) movement, with calls for him to focus on the economy instead of foreign peace deals.

Mr Trump will “discuss how he and the administration continue to focus on delivering on his day one priority of ending Joe Biden’s inflation crisis,” a White House official told AFP.

He will speak at the Mount Airy Casino resort in Pocono, Pennsylvania, US media said. Before becoming president, Mr Trump ran a number of casinos, several of which went bankrupt.
