Inflation, economy and gas prices are top issues for voters as we near the midterms. Republicans shouldn't assume those will tip the election against Democrats.

Republicans are practically gleeful given these circumstances and quick to lay the blame solely with the president. In a rare moment of unguarded honesty, Senator Rick Scott, R-FL, who leads the GOP Senate campaign arm, declared in an interview with the Wall Street Journal, "We’re going to continue to have inflation and then the interest rates will go up. This is a gold mine for us."
Senator Scott is not alone in his caucus when it comes to recognizing that rising costs will be a political boon to GOP chances in the fall, despite the pain inflicted on American’s pocketbooks. Indeed, Republicans are assuming that since Democrats hold both the White House and Congress, Americans who are hurting will blame Team Blue in November while the GOP can sit back and measure the drapes.
