Inflation & Gas Prices Still The Number One Issue On Voters’ Minds

The FOX News Rundown

A FOX News poll shows that 75 percent of Americans have faced financial hardship due to inflation in the last six months. As inflation reached another record high of 9.1% in the month of June, a majority of Americans say that gas prices and inflation are the most important issues to them when going to the polls this November. Democrats are hoping that the Dobbs v. Jackson decision repealing abortion rights will help their base turn out in November. Plus, Democratic members of Congress have presented legislation on social issues such as codifying same-sex marriage and legalizing marijuana at the federal level in hopes of changing the national conversation headed into the fall. Senate Majority Whip John Thune (R-SD) joins Mike Emanuel on the FOX New Rundown today to cover all of these issues, as well why the Senator believes the Senate’s semiconductor legislation doesn’t go far enough to compete with China technologically.

The prices of both homes and mortgages have increased, leading sales within the housing market to go down for five straight months. These factors, coupled with multiple offers and a housing shortage, has led to an incredibly tight market for buyers. Chief Economist at the National Association of Realtors Lawrence Yun joins the Rundown to discuss the current state of the housing market, the lack of supply of homes within the country, and advice for people looking to buy homes.
