A Washington Post analysis of 2,381 posts and podcasts by winning congressional Democrats finds that more than three-quarters pledged to cut costs, but two-thirds of the affordability pledges did not say how, with the rest citing mostly ending the war in Iran and tariffs. In victory messages, Rep. Kathy Castor says "Life is way too expensive out there," and Rep. Jason Crow lists an agenda of stopping the war, ending trade wars, and rolling back healthcare cuts.
