"I think I would certainly say voters are impatient. I think voters have every right to be impatient," the vice president noted. "We are impatient, too, and we’re going to see if what we do and what we think we have to do converges with what the voters think we should be doing."

"We’ll find that out in about a year," he noted. "And we’re just going to keep on working as hard as we can until then."

During a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, President Donald Trump described Democrats' talk about affordability as a "fake narrative."

There is a "fake narrative that the Democrats talk about: affordability," the president said. 

"They just say the word," he continued. "It doesn't mean anything to anybody." 

"I inherited the worst inflation in history. There was no affordability, nobody could afford anything. The prices were massively high," he said.
