by MINA ALLEN | The National News DeskFILE - President Donald Trump speaks during an event to announce new tariffs in the Rose Garden at the White House, on April 2, 2025, in Washington. President Donald Trump predicted that the 2026 midterm elections will center around “pricing” as members of the GOP must face the control of Congress on the line during the Congress.
Trump told POLITICO on Friday night that he believes Americans will be receptive to the messaging. The messaging surrounding the Trump administration is cleaning up the mess that the Biden administration left. “I think it’s going to be about the success of our country. It’ll be about pricing,” Trump said in an exclusive interview with POLITICO. “Because, you know, they gave us high pricing, and we’re bringing it down. Energy’s way down. Gasoline is way down.” His comments come from a string of favorable economic reports over the past few weeks, with data showing that inflation is slowing and the US economy is better than expected.“Electricity is down. It’s way down,” Trump said. “You know, when the gasoline goes down, and when the oil and oil and gas go down, the electricity comes down naturally. But it’s all coming down. It’s all coming down. It’s coming beautifully.”Inflation dropped to a 2.7 percent annual rate in November, which was the smallest year-over-year increase since July, according to the latest Consumer Price Index report.The Monroe County Sheriff's Office is investigating after a car crashed into the garage of a home Friday afternoon.Gov.
