Trump says midterm elections will be 'about pricing'

President Donald Trump has said the 2026 midterm elections will be “about pricing,” showing how he is reframing his economic messaging after calling Democrats’ focus on affordability a “dead” issue.

“I think it’s going to be about the success of our country. It’ll be about pricing,” he said in an interview with Politico published Saturday morning. “Because, you know, they gave us high pricing, and we’re bringing it down. Energy’s way down. Gasoline is way down.”
