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.
