The economy propelled Democrats to victory. What can they actually do about it?

The Democrats' strong showing in the midterms largely stemmed from voter discontent with the high cost of living and gas prices. However, with a divided government, their ability to enact meaningful economic reforms is likely to be constrained. This shift underscores the challenge they face in addressing voter concerns while navigating a legislative landscape dominated by opposition. The implications suggest that even in times of economic distress, political gridlock can significantly hinder policy changes.
