Congressman Brendan Boyle Criticizes Trump Administration's Economic Policies Amid Rising Inflation

Congressman Brendan F. Boyle, serving as the Ranking Member of the House Budget Committee, has issued a statement criticizing the Trump administration's economic policies following the release of the July 2026 Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation data. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported an annualized CPI inflation rate of 3.4% for July. Boyle attributes the rising inflation to several decisions made by President Trump and the Republican leadership, including healthcare cuts, the imposition of tariff taxes, and the initiation of a war with Iran. Boyle argues that these actions have contributed to a cost-of-living crisis affecting American families, contradicting President Trump's promises to lower costs.

President Trump's Approval Rating Hits Near Record Low Amid Midterm Election Forecasts

President Trump's Approval Rating Hits Near Record Low Amid Midterm Election Forecasts

President Trump's net approval rating has reached a near record low, with a net approval of -20.4, according to Nate Silver's aggregate of US national polls. This decline is attributed to the resumption of the Iran war, which has negatively impacted his ratings. The upcoming midterm elections on November 3 are crucial, as Democrats are slightly favored to gain control of both chambers of Congress. They currently lead the generic ballot by 6.7 points. The weak US July jobs report, which showed a loss of 23,000 jobs, has also contributed to economic concerns, despite a surge in the stock market driven by the AI boom.
