This deep-red city, rising costs test Trump's affordability message

Bullhead City, Arizona—on the Colorado River south of Las Vegas—is testing President Donald Trump’s affordability message as voters say prices are rising faster than their paychecks. Sue Berilla, 73, says her retirement plans have become harder as the local Kiwanis Christmas tree’s number of needy children has grown to more than 200, a senior nutrition center sees more hungry people, and a nearby food pantry’s shelves empty quickly. She also points to rye bread jumping from $2.49 two years ago to over $5. Ahead of Trump’s scheduled visit, the U.S. Labor Department reported September inflation at a 3.7% annual rate.
