Buying stuff has become more expensive in the United States and Democrats are beginning to feel the political pressure. Rep. Ami Bera (D-Calif.), who is part of the more moderate New Democrat Coalition in the House, said he doesn’t think Democrats are messaging effectively around the “real problem” of inflation. “I think we’ve got to keep communicating,” said Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.), who chairs the Senate Democrats’ campaign arm. In Congress, Democrats insist that their Build Back Better plan — more than $1 trillion in spending over 10 years aimed at lowering the cost of health care, child care, and other measures that Democrats are currently negotiating — is the answer to inflation concerns among voters. Asked how he will convince Manchin to overcome his inflation concerns, Schumer told HuffPost: “We’re going to pay for the whole bill.”
