How the humble burrito triggered a Maga ‘civil war’ in Trump’s party

Debate over the price of a burrito is causing indigestion for President Donald Trump’s Republican Party, which fears being punished for the high cost of living in November’s midterm elections.
Not any more, argues Andrew Kolvet, a spokesman for the conservative youth organisation Turning Point USA.
“One of our TPUSA college students gave me his take on affordability: ‘A burrito shouldn’t cost $20.’
Those comments set off what Fox News, the Republicans’ favourite channel, is describing as a “civil war” within the party.
US Democrats have made affordability and the economy their defining midterm messaging, playing off elevated inflation and prices for groceries.
