Inflation is Gutting Nevadans’ Wallets, and It Won’t Get Better Under Kamala 2.0
Kamala Harris’ spend-spend-spend policies are impoverishing struggling Nevada families
Nevada is one of the hardest-hit states in the union for Bidenflation, which has jacked up costs of everyday necessities by as much as 22.1 percent since President Trump left office in Jan. 2021. That’s 1.8 percentage points higher than the national average.
Now Nevada families are paying close to $1,200 more every month for the same products they bought 4 years ago, costing them a whopping $33,740 more since Kamala Harris and Joe Biden took office, according to new data from the Consumer Price Index.
Data from Consumer Price IndexThe most affected budget item: Gas. In total, Nevadans have spent over $11,000 extra fueling up their cars since Jan. 2021, and Nevada already had some of the highest pump prices in the nation, almost double of Texas or South Carolina.
Similarly, mortgage and rent costs have steadily risen since Trump left office, costing families $282 more per month for the same home they had 4 years ago. Instead of saving up $7,000 for a down payment on a new car or house, that money’s been obliterated by Bidenflation for good.
Grocery bills are up, too, costing Nevadans over $4,100 more to feed themselves under Harris.
It didn’t have to be this way. Remember that as vice president, Kamala Harris cast the tie-breaking vote for Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), something she’s bragged about time and again. Economists agree that the misnamed IRA did nothing to stop inflation—and much to increase it by wastefully spending trillions of dollars, inflating the price of everything from milk to electricity to diapers.
So what will Kamala do different in 2025? Nothing—which is why she copied Biden’s failed policies on her campaign website and refused to take responsibility for the past 4 years she’s been in office at the September presidential debate.
Voters have seen Harris dodge simple questions too many times to believe she has a plan to save the economy. Yet voters also remember the great economy that President Trump built before COVID and radical Democrat policies devastated the nation.
There’s only one path forward, and it’s with Trump.
