MARGARET BRENNAN: I'm Margaret Brennan in Washington and this week on Face the Nation, Democrats head to their convention in Chicago as inflation cools. And the political back and forth over economic policies intensifies. With the presidential contest lineup set to be formally locked in this week, both sides turn their attention to issue number one on the minds of the voters: the economy and inflation.
KAMALA HARRIS: I will go after the bad actors and work to pass the first ever federal ban on price gauging(sic) on food.
DONALD TRUMP: A lot of people are very devastated by what’s happened with inflation and all of the other things.
But they say it's the most important subject. I'm not sure it is. But they say it’s the most important sort- inflation is the most important, but that’s part of economy.
BRENNAN: The former president's prescription is two fold.
TRUMP: Vote Trump and your incomes will soar…
BRENNAN: And a new line of false attacks on Vice President Harris.
TRUMP: Kamala went full communist. You heard that? She went full communist. She wants to destroy our country. After causing catastrophic inflation.
BRENNAN: We'll tell you why that is wrong, and how the voters see the candidates' handling of the economy in our new CBS News poll.
