The midterm elections are six weeks away and new polls show that voters are divided over who should control Congress. For now, Republicans hold a firm lead on the economy, crime, and inflation. Democrats hold leads on the issues of abortion and climate change. Julia Manchester, national political reporter at The Hill, joins us for how voters are feeling and the Republican governor that everyone wants stumping for them.
Next, inflation continues to hammer away at the country and another stressor coming to older Americans and those with aging parents, the rising cost of senior living homes. Long-term care providers have had to deal with higher costs of food, utilities, insurance, wages, and managing Covid-19, and those costs are being passed on to seniors and their families catching them off-guard. Clare Ansberry, Turning Points columnist at the WSJ, joins us for what to know.
Finally, another factor that could be keeping the housing supply limited for some time to come is that homeowners are reluctant to sell their homes now that mortgage rates are much higher. To sell your house and then buy into another loan with a rate nearly double what many have been locked into, doesn’t make sense. Instead, many are choosing to list their homes for rent. Nicole Friedman, U.S. housing reporter at the WSJ, joins us for more.
