WASHINGTON: Debate over the price of a burrito is causing indigestion for President Donald Trump’s Republican Party, which fears being punished for the high cost of living in November’s midterm elections. The Mexican specialty — rice, beans, meat and other toppings wrapped in a tortilla — is beloved by many Americans as a comforting, filling and inexpensive meal. Not anymore, argues Andrew Kolvet, a spokesperson for the conservative youth organization Turning Point USA.

Vance making the burrito debate about weight rather than the cost-of-living issues at hand exposed a recurring problem for the Trump administration.
