But on Monday, President Joe Biden tripped up when he responded with a profane insult to a pointed query from a Fox News reporter. Doocy called out, “Do you think inflation is a political liability ahead of the midterms?”“It’s a great asset — more inflation,” Biden said in a low tone, appearing to speak to himself. Doocy told Fox News’ Sean Hannity that Biden called him about an hour after the incident to apologise. Doocy said Biden told him, “It’s nothing personal, pal.”The White House did not immediately respond to a request by The Associated Press for comment. White House officials have insisted repeatedly that they are focused on curbing inflation, with Biden reorienting his economic agenda to address the issue.
