Outlets agree Kelly discussed Democrats’ proposals for addressing rising costs, including tax measures. Center outlets connect Kelly’s criticism of Trump’s payment proposal to the midterms and his alternative tax plan; the CBS News transcript places those remarks in a broader interview. Right-leaning outlets foreground the higher taxes in Kelly’s plan and his claim that Trump’s tariffs and Iran-war conditions are raising prices.
