Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent canceled a scheduled Sunday television interview with no public explanation, just days before the midterm elections. Critics seized on the timing, arguing that the administration's chief economic spokesman chose not to appear on air to pitch the economy to voters at the most consequential moment of the campaign season.

Why now: The unexplained cancellation right before the midterms fuels speculation about how the administration wants to talk about the economy.
