As the midterm elections in America approach, the economy is one of the deciding factors for how people will vote.
Before his second term started, President Trump promised to tackle the so-called affordabilty crisis. But since then, the war in Iran has led to soaring gas prices and a range of tariffs have made some goods more expensive.
