Former Biden spokesperson: Trump doesn't want Democrats to talk about promise to lower prices

[Dulcinea]

(The Hill) Former White House spokesperson Andrew Bates said Monday that President Trump does not want Democrats to remind voters of his campaign promise to lower prices.

“[T]he last thing President Trump wants now is for Democrats to talk about his broken promise to lower costs right away. The telltale sign is that he has stopped talking about it himself,” Bates, who served as a spokesperson for former President Biden’s 2020 campaign and in the Biden White House, wrote Monday in a Fox News op-ed.

“He knows that with an aggressive economic message that reveals the GOP’s establishment-bought true colors, Democrats can ignite a 2026 midterm backlash,” Bates continued.
