CNN fact-check: Inflation isn’t solved and affordability remains on the agenda

CNN debunks Trump’s claim that inflation is over and Democrats have stopped talking about affordability, noting that prices are still rising (December 2025 CPI up 0.3% from November and 2.7% from December 2024), overall prices up about 2.2% since January 2025, groceries up 0.7% in the latest month, and Iowa gas not at the claimed $1.95. Democrats continue to emphasize affordability in policy remarks and actions.
