Fact check
“Voters are worried about the cost of living heading into the midterm elections.”
Reasoning
The claim that voters are worried about the cost of living is supported only by a politician's assertion, which does not constitute verifiable evidence of overall voter sentiment. Without independent surveys or studies, the claim cannot be confirmed or refuted.
On confidence: The only evidence is a single statement by Senator John Kennedy claiming voters are worried; no independent polling or broader data is provided.

The excerpt reflects a partisan perspective and does not include empirical data on voter concerns.
