On Sunday, The Daily Caller<\/a> posted an article about Senator Schumer’s explanation of the reason for the defeat of so many Democrats in November’s election.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said Sunday that voters \u201cdidn\u2019t realize how much\u201d the Democratic Party had done for them over the last four years heading into November\u2019s elections, claiming it played a key role in his party\u2019s demise.<\/strong><\/p>\n

President-elect Donald Trump scored a historic win<\/a> for Republicans in November, winning both the Electoral College and the popular vote, while Vice President Kamala Harris failed to even match the numbers President Joe Biden had received in 2020. On \u201cMeet the Press,\u201d NBC host Kristen Welker questioned Schumer about his thoughts on the \u201croot cause\u201d of the Democrats\u2019 loss, noting that Democratic strategist James Carville had blamed the state<\/a> of the economy<\/a> under the Biden-Harris administration.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI told my caucus and I\u2019ll say it here, too. We should regard this election, certainly it was a loss, but it\u2019s also a challenge, and we did some things right against very severe headwinds. We kept four of those seven contested Democratic seats, but we did some things wrong and we have to look in the mirror and see what we did wrong,\u201d Schumer said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThen there\u2019s some things we didn\u2019t do that we should have done. One of the things we have to do is we must focus on the working families of America,\u201d Schumer added. \u201cWe believe in them and we passed all kinds of legislation that helped them with the infrastructure bill which made our economy stronger and employed lots of people.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, back in reality, on December 22, 2024, The Center Square<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n

President Joe Biden is only a few weeks away from the end of his time in office, and one key part of his legacy is undeniable: inflation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Biden has battled inflation from the start, but critics say he helped fuel it with trillions of dollars in deficit spending during his four years in office. Federal debt spending is offset in part by printing money, which increases inflation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Biden has boasted bringing inflation rates down from about 9% earlier in his term to roughly 2.5% currently.<\/strong><\/p>\n

While the rate of inflation has slowed, that doesn\u2019t mean prices have decreased. In fact, they continue rising, albeit slower than earlier in his term.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The federal government released a a key inflation marker Friday, its Personal Consumption Expenditure<\/a>\u00a0index, which rose 2.4% last month, a bit less than expected.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Overall, though, prices have risen more than 20% since Biden took office.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It really is the economy, stupid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
