During CBS’s coverage of Tuesday’s election, CBS “Face the Nation” host and CBS Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent Margaret Brennan said that voters in battleground states inaccurately blamed President Joe Biden for rent spiking since he took office because “The cost of your rent is affected by a number of different factors, but people blame the boss.” And noted the increase in grocery prices, but said that “We are on the back end of a pandemic that completely upended the supply chains of a global economy.”
After CBS projected that then-2024 Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump would win Georgia, Brennan said that the result perhaps shouldn’t have been a surprise due to polling data showing that voters in Georgia were dissatisfied with the economy in polling and she said, “[P]eople, often, when they’re asked about the state of the economy, that’s what they think of, is what am I paying at the grocery store?
Later, she added, “You look at this, since Biden took office, rents in the battleground states are up 20%. That’s not because Joe Biden was elected. The cost of your rent is affected by a number of different factors, but people blame the boss. The grocery inflation, 22%. We are on the back end of a pandemic that completely upended the supply chains of a global economy.”

Perfect response.
10,000,000+ illegal aliens entered the US in the last 4 years. They all need a place to live. They don’t buy houses, they rent and often they pay their rent in cash. The amount of rental units in urban and suburban areas is limited. Basic supply and demand.
Just one example: Box of 60 eggs at Walmart was 5.76 at the end of Trump’s last Presidency. It went up to almost 14 during Biden, dropped to between 7-8 but is now over 10. Directly or indirectly, it’s all Biden’s fault. Want to talk about gas now, Maggie? FO, you know-nothing See-BS propaganda tool.
The eviction moratorium is a driver of rent increases because of the risk that landlords are taking and the need to recover lost revenue. Biden did that.
Oh, thank you so much Margaret. We were all so dumb and uninformed until you explained it so well.
I blame Buyin for everything bad that’s happened to America these past four miserable years!
From steak to eggs to milk to autos and tires and families.
We’ll, since Fauci was responsible for the pandemic, it’s on him.
Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon, in the sense that it is and can be produced only by a more rapid increase in the quantity of money than in output.
—Milton Friedman
Sure, Jan! Bring in 12 million invaders and it lowers housing costs across the board. Sure it does! So it can’t be Joe’s fault.
A complete lack of understanding of cause and effect. Typical thinking from the “Unicorns will save us” party.
Right, again the voters are stupid.
