President Trump will dial up his affordability message for an audience of McDonald's owners, operators and suppliers Monday evening, as part of an escalating White House push to take on Americans' economic worries.

"The Biden administration started the affordability crisis, but President Trump will end it so all Americans can achieve economic prosperity," a White House official told me.

Why it matters: The cost of living was a winning message for Democrats in off-year elections earlier this month. And Republicans see new urgency on the issue as they turn to next year's midterms.

During remarks at an Impact Summit hosted in Washington by McDonald's, Trump is expected to tout steps he has taken to support small businesses and job creators.

He'll talk about the tax cuts in his One Big Beautiful Bill, which includes "No Tax on Tips ... No Tax on Overtime ... No Tax on Social Security."

Context: Trump has floated a variety of ideas for lowering the cost of living, while insisting he's taming "Biden's inflation crisis." The prices of some staples are up, and polls show Americans worry about the economy.
