Republicans Clash Over Economic Strategy Ahead of Midterms

Republicans are clashing over economic strategy less than two months before Election Day, fearing voter anger over high costs could hurt their chances. The internal debate centers on how aggressively to push tax cuts and spending reductions, with some lawmakers urging a focus on inflation relief while others prioritize long-term fiscal discipline. The disagreement has surfaced in closed-door meetings and public statements, as party leaders seek a unified message to counter Democratic criticism on the economy.
