Democrats' affordability push leaves out rent, critics say

A claim circulating online argues that Democrats talk about affordability of groceries, gas and healthcare but avoid discussing rent. The author questions why rent is left out of the party's cost-of-living message, suggesting housing costs are being deliberately sidelined. The post touches on inflation, rent control and the broader affordability debate shaping US political discussion.
Why now: Housing costs and affordability are a major political issue, so claims about which party addresses rent draw attention.
Evidence
