Canada is trying to pass censorship Bill C-11, United States is creating the Disinformation Governance Board (Ministry of Truth) and the EU proposed the Digital Services Act. It's not a coincidence.— Mattea Merta (@MatteaMerta) May 1, 2022
Inflation doesn’t strike the whole economy evenly. Some metropolitan areas across the U.S. recorded hotter inflation than others. Democratic lawmakers in these regions, up for re-election, could be in jeopardy come midterms.
Bloomberg found the four top metro areas where consumer prices cracked above the 10% barrier in February. Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale, Arizona, had the highest inflation of any urban region at 10.9%.
Inflation is so rampant in the metro area that Arizona Democratic Senator Mark Kelly’s re-election bid could be at risk as the high cost of living has crushed residents.
Stan Barnes, a former Arizona state senator and GOP political consultant, said Kelly is a “likable person who’s married to one of the most important and admired people in Arizona [Gabby Giffords]. But this time, he needs to carry Joe Biden around like a sack of bricks and somehow explain his record.”
Biden’s presidency depends on campaigns like Kelly’s. Republicans are expected to win a majority in the U.S. House in November.
“It’s one of the most critical races,” said Jennifer Duffy, Senate editor of the Cook Political Report. “If Democrats lose him [Kelly], they’re on very shaky ground.”
