The Bureau of Labor Statistics March 2024 Consumer Price Index was released this morning and came in at a higher than expected year-over-year rate of 3.5%. This was the 36th month in a row of a 3% or higher inflation rate starting the month after the American Rescue Plan was signed into law. Today's report almost guarantees the Federal Reserve will hold off on cutting interest rates longer than Wall Street hoped.

Under President Biden, prices have risen 19.4% since he was inaugurated. Contrasting him with the seven prior presidents at the same point in their presidencies, only Carter (36.9%) had a larger increase.

The 2024 presidential race will be a Biden-Trump rematch, but compared to today's sour political climate, the 2020 election was a very different time for the country. We were still in the throes of COVID. The economy was central to the election, but the country was still trying to defeat the virus as closures continued and a vaccine wasn't yet available. Combined with the protests during the summer, the stage was set or a more unifying positive candidate. Biden's positive brand image (52-46 fav-unfav) made it easier for voters who didn't like Trump (46-52 fav-unfav) to vote for him. Exit polls showed the economy was the strong suit for Trump, while Biden won among voters who prioritized the virus. Disruptive change wasn't the priority it had been in 2016.
