The Democrats have decided that “affordability” is the issue that will win the next election cycle. Are they daft? The most unaffordable states and cities in the country are Democrat strongholds.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, the Democrat from New York, one of the least affordable states in the country, has told party leaders they need “to adopt a laser focus on the affordability crisis,” says Axios.
Politico noted that the “Democrats are gearing up to hammer the GOP on the issue,” then quickly jumped in to help, declaring that the “Republicans have an affordability problem.”
Will the Democrat strategy work? Not if voters get the facts, which we will helpfully provide.
According to U.S. News & World Report, the most unaffordable state is Gov. Gavin Newsom’s California. It is a deep blue, having been under the boot of Democrats for more than a quarter century, which, yes, includes eight years of Arnold Schwarzenegger, who ran as a Republican but governed more like the Democrats, as he was unable to break their now three-decade grip in Sacramento.
