Tim Walz Stumped By Question on Inflation; Repeats Lie About Trump 'Sales Tax'

Drug prices, especially for seniors, making sure we're keeping a cap on those. That's making a difference.

And then making sure we're investing in rural communities like the Investment Acts that have created a lot of new jobs in terms of infrastructure and other things. Those are things that we start to get a handle on it.

Home ownership has nothing to do with families struggling to meet monthly expenses. Lowering drug prices is something President Donald Trump started, and which President Joe Biden also takes credit for doing. And investing in infrastructure is a long-term project. In fact, the slow pace of the Biden-Harris administration's progress on infrastructure -- just eight charging stations in three years -- has cast Harris's promise on homebuilding in doubt.

Walz went on to claim, falsely, that Trump's plan for dealing with inflation involved a "national sales tax." As Breitbart News pointed out the last time the Harris-Walz campaign used that lie, Trump has never proposed a national sales tax. That is Democrats' way of referring to tariffs that Trump has used, and promises to use, to protect American industries -- tariffs that the Biden-Harris administration has never removed, and recently increased.
