Guardian reporters will hold a reader Q&A on the US economy and its possible effect on the midterm election results. The event is scheduled for Thursday at 12pm ET (4pm UTC) on the Guardian US site.
Participants will include business reporters Lauren Aratani and Gaya Gupta, labor reporter Michael Sainato, and consumer and corporate rights reporter Heather Timmons.
Economic issues before the vote
The discussion will cover high food and gas prices, an unstable job market, inflation, tariffs and policy proposals ahead of the 3 November election. The source says consumers are increasingly angry about the cost of living.
It also notes that Kevin Warsh took over as chair of the Federal Reserve this year. The election is scheduled for just over two weeks after the announced discussion.
The session is part of a Guardian US series of reader Q&As ahead of the midterms. Earlier conversations addressed the Democratic party’s makeup, financial backing for candidates and whether the Iran war could hurt Donald Trump.
