Inflation<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

Harris<\/b>\u00a0has said her day-one priority would be trying to reduce food and housing costs for working families.<\/p>\n

She promises to ban price-gouging on groceries, help first-time home buyers, increase housing supply and raise the minimum wage.<\/p>\n

Inflation soared under the Biden presidency, as it did in many western countries, partly due to post-Covid supply issues and the Ukraine war. It has fallen since.<\/p>\n

Trump<\/b>\u00a0has promised to \u201cend inflation and make America affordable again\u201d and when asked he says more drilling for oil will lower energy costs.<\/p>\n

He has promised to deliver lower interest rates, something the president does not control, and he says deporting undocumented immigrants will ease pressure on housing. Economists warn that his vow to impose higher tax on imports could push up prices.<\/p>\n
