Polling data indicates that the issues Democrats care most about are not the same as what independent voters, those who will decide the 2024 election, care about.

As part of the "Inflation Reduction Act," congressional Democrats gave the Biden administration the ability to "Negotiate" the price of certain drugs in the Medicare system.
