Inflation is the top issue for American voters, according to a new poll. The FT's Lauren Fedor travels to Prince William County, Virginia where inflation could play out in congressional races. She meets an 88-year-old woman who says she needs to take more from her savings because of inflation.

In this special episode of the FT News Briefing, listen to our four-part series on the US midterm elections. We go around the country to learn about some of the key issues on voters' minds, from inflation to election denialism. Think of it as your crash course for the election on November 8.
