#shorts On 11/10/2022, during press briefing, a reporter asked White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, “just on the CPI statement this morning from the President: Most of the increase that we saw in inflation last month was due to rising costs for shelter. President Biden’s statement didn’t mention that. What is the administration doing to contain the rampant run-up in rents right now?”

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: Of shelter specifically?

Q Shelter costs, yeah.

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: So, I don’t have anything right now to share with you on that specific piece of the data.

As you know, the report — the way that we saw it, and as the President says, it shows that we are making progress, which is important as we talk about CPI, on bringing inflation down … The President clearly is going to continue to do the work to bring down cost for the American people. We talked about the gas prices and also Inflation Reduction Act. So that will continue to be. But that particular piece of the data, I don’t have anything to share with you on that.
