What does “affordability” mean, and who should we trust to
deliver it? Democrats are pounding the affordability message
hard, saying President Trump began a global tariff war and a war
in Iran that have both pushed prices up for Americans.

We’ll talk about what actual ideas Democrats are offering to
bring relief. The boldest ideas so far have come from their more
progressive members, which could be a potential challenge for the
more moderate wing of the party. Republicans have their own
challenge: GOP lawmakers seem willing to work on bipartisan
solutions on affordability, but President Trump keeps undermining
them.

Mo and Sarah have their own policy debate to stump for proposals
that can bring prices down, and also pick each other’s ideas
apart.

Plus, Dr. Anthony Fauci refused to answer questions about Covid
in a congressional hearing, and we talk about whether he was
justified.
