US President Trump said in an interview with “Politico” magazine on Friday evening local time that he believes the 2026 midterm elections will revolve around the “price” issue. Trump said he is convinced that the American public will accept his economic claims: that his administration is cleaning up the mess he took over from former President Joe Biden. Trump said, “I think this will be about the success of our country. This will also have a price issue. Because, you know, what they initially gave us was a high price, and now we're lowering the price. The price of energy has dropped drastically, and so has the price of gasoline. Electricity prices have also dropped drastically. All of these prices are falling. It's all falling. It's been a great drop.”
