Strahan brought up the topic in a media interview, saying, “Let's talk about the economy. That's the biggest issue for voters. 74% of voters said they've had to cut back on grocery purchases over the past year because of the recession.” “I answered that it was not necessary,” he said. “Of course, there are rising costs, and many voters are concerned that if they vote for Kamala Harris, she will be responsible for it,” Strahan said.
“So how do you appeal to voters? What do you say to voters who might blame her for the economy now?”
Mr. Waltz replied: “Well, we're talking to them and asking them, “What are the policies that are going to make a difference?'' And we're looking at some of the data, but the data doesn't impact people's daily lives, going to the grocery store. “Whether or not bird flu affects eggs, you're seeing misinformation,” he continued, also referring to price gouging and Harris' proposed tax cuts.
“But the reality for most people is that if these costs go up, they want to know what they're going to do about it. Whether it's going to make homeownership more affordable; “I think that's why she's focused on making sure we get tax cuts. There's an element of price gouging to this,” he said.

And she never did. People who bring that up. What do you say?”

Walz accused President Trump of inaction on the issue and then moved to suggest that Congress failed to help Harris. “The important thing is we need a partner in Congress.”
He added, “We've seen a variety of bills that are ready to pass, and Donald Trump is certainly going to step in. We've seen that on immigration.” He accused him of defeating a bipartisan border bill earlier this year. Strahan then moved on to another topic.
