Riding a tide of voter angst, Democrats swept into power in Congress, with outrage over the cost of living and the war in Iran leading to a thundering rebuke of President Donald Trump and his party just two years after his dominant White House comeback. In a seismic political shift, Democrats’ strength suggested a breakdown of the coalition that delivered Trump a second term. The election results threaten to slow the pace of the AI infrastructure buildout, with policymakers potentially turning up the heat on increasingly unpopular data center projects.

Many voters are giving President Donald Trump poor marks for his handling of the cost of living, and inflation is still high, which is the number that ultimately is more important to them. On affordability and the pricing behaviors of some businesses, Bloomberg’s Max Chafkin recently reported on the left-leaning nonprofit. Groundwork Collaborative, that’s focused on what it calls “surveillance pricing” -- the idea that retailers might charge customers different prices for items in stores and online based on all the data the companies have collected about them. Chafkin and Groundwork Collaborative CEO Lindsay Owens join to discuss.

The midterm elections have already set a record as the most expensive in US history, exceeding even the 2024 presidential race. Total spending on campaign ads this year is projected to surpass $12 billion, while more than 57 million Americans cast their ballots early. Voters say they are frustrated by the high cost of living, fuel prices that spiked after the launch of the Iran war, and uncertainty over where their jobs and the world’s largest economy are headed in the age of AI.
