Senator Adam Schiff, during an interview on ABC News, admitted that the Democratic Party lost the 2024 election because they failed to stay focused on the high cost of living while critiquing former President Donald Trump’s economic policies. During the Biden administration, inflation peaked at 9% in June 2022, causing a dramatic rise in prices,

while Biden and Democrats downplayed the economic situation. Schiff emphasized that the focus should have been on reducing living costs and addressing issues like housing, rent, and healthcare. He blamed the Trump administration and Republicans for worsening the economy but did not provide strong evidence to support this claim.
