Biden bet hinges on inflation trend for 2024 approval
Conor Sen argues the Biden team bets that cooling inflation will lift consumer confidence and Biden's approval ahead of the 2024 election. Lael Brainard, now at the White House, notes shelter inflation should ease as rents decelerate, with NTRR data suggesting little price pressure in new leases. If shelter inflation slows to 2 percent, core CPI could fall to about 2.5 percent, boosting sentiment and voters' views on economic policy. The strategy links infrastructure and clean energy jobs to the inflation outlook, aiming to reassure middle-class households and sway marginal voters.
