It's the economy stupid;
"Since Mr. Biden took office, Phoenix and its suburbs have recorded the highest inflation jump (bold mine) among the nation’s 21 largest metropolitan areas, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data shows. The area’s Consumer Price Index rose 10.9% from February 2021 through February 2022, the most recent month available, compared with the national average of 7.9%.
The Atlanta area, where there will also be key races in determining control of Congress, comes in a close second for inflation during this 12-month period, at 10.6%. The metros of Miami and Tampa, which include competitive districts in the battleground state of Florida, rank third and fourth.
Nationwide, the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania estimates that last year’s inflation required the average household to spend around $3,500 more to achieve the same level of consumption of goods and services as in 2019 or 2020."

The Phoenix region has recorded the steepest consumer-price increases among the largest U.S. metropolitan areas since President Biden took office, and local sentiment shows the impact as midterm elections approach. “We’re getting hammered.”
