Rising mortgage rates hammer housing market, troubling Republicans
Original: How rising mortgage rates are hitting the housing market hard — at a terrible time for GOP

The Hill reports the timing is particularly bad for the Republican Party, which is having to confront voter frustration over housing costs while mortgage rates remain elevated.
Why now: Housing affordability is becoming a politically damaging issue for the GOP as rates stay high.
