In Pennsylvania’s Senate race, Casey puts ‘greedflation’ and corporations on the ballot

Democratic Sen. Bob Casey of Pennsylvania leaned into the podium, almost past the microphone, to make his point to the union crowd about how mad corporate leaders are at him. “But I got news for them,” Casey told Dauphin County Democrats and AFSCME members. For Democrats trying to defend the White House and Senate majority, Casey is emerging as the tip of the spear in attacking “greedflation” — a blunt term for corporations that jack up prices and rip off shoppers to maximize profits — and trying to reframe the election-year narrative about the economy.
