Listen to this full episode of The New Abnormal on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon, and Stitcher.
Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance gave a very JD Vance explanation of America’s inflation rates when he was asked about a policy to address the problem on the campaign trail in Wisconsin.
Vance quickly brushed off a Democratic talking point that placed the blame for higher prices on essentials such as groceries, gas, and housing on corporate greed. Instead, Vance proceeded to blame Vice President Kamala Harris and bungled his way through connecting inflation to energy production.
