The problem with that is...she's the incumbent, and she's open to loads of attacks, including having cast the deciding vote on the Inflation Reduction Act...which did nothing to reduce inflation.

The Inflation Reduction Act was passed in the 3rd quarter of 2022. In 2022, the annual inflation rate was 8%.

In 2023, the annual inflation rate was cut in half, to 4.1%.

In August 2024 (latest data we have), the annual inflation rate is 2.9%.

While the impact of the Inflation Reduction Act can be argued (and it’s impact is still ongoing), it’s going to be tough to pin thin this on Harris given inflation has been considerably reduced.

Besides, Trump doesn’t do nuance. His forte is spewing outright lies.
