Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has been critical of the Biden administration’s spending bills, and Wednesday said American families are reacting to the increase in prices by “tightening their household budgets.”

“Ask any working family about gas prices, food prices, home prices, lumber prices, [and] used car prices. One survey just found that more than 80 percent of American families are tightening their household budgets because of the threat of inflation,” said McConnell.
