Key inflation gauge worsens as Americans' income and spending power erodes

AP News WASHINGTON (AP) — A key inflation gauge accelerated in April to the highest level in three years, squeezing Americans' finances and creating political challenges for President Trump and congressional Republicans with midterm elections just five months away.
