Now comes the test for Dems: household budget relief

Democrats are now tasked with addressing voter frustrations over high prices after winning the midterms, but the challenge is significant as there's little policymakers can do to quickly lower prices. This situation echoes past Republican struggles, highlighting the dilemma that broad price declines could lead to job losses and reduced incomes, ultimately harming households. The stakes are high, as stabilizing prices without triggering economic downturns will determine the Democrats' success in addressing voters' concerns and maintaining public support.
