As voters prepare to go to the polls, inflation has ballooned under President Joe Biden’s policies. That is not something Jake Ford, a Pennsylvania high school social studies teacher, had considered in past elections.

“When times are good, it’s easy to forget. Like the past four years, pre-pandemic, the economy was roaring, and we never really questioned it,” Ford told The Epoch Times at a rally for Republican gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano. “We never really had problems with gas prices and we never noticed the troubles that we are now having with high grocery costs. I feel like these tough times expose everything.”
