My first front page story as a White House correspondent for USA TODAY — and it is an #exclusive! Our analysis found that in some swing states, which are critical to President Joe Biden’s reelection bid, rental costs have more than doubled in the past four years. In fact, 6 out of the top 10 markets and 34 of the top 100 markets with the largest increases are in swing states. (Also, the print edition came with a QR code that can be scanned to view data on the top 100 markets with the largest increases). Inflation and the economy have long worried American voters, polling shows. But as housing costs continue to be the biggest driver of core inflation, renters are feeling increasingly disillusioned with politicians. #rent #rental Rent.com #NationalLowIncomeHousingCoaltion Link to story: https://lnkd.in/eyaPpTE5
Bravo for your first front page story! And quite honestly as I see it, our democracy depends on accurate and good reporting and analysis! 🏆

Well done! I wonder how many actually understand the link from failed public policies and higher rents? Many just blame ‘greedy’ landlords.
Heartiest congratulations Swapna. This is great.
