WASHINGTON — White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Monday that President Biden will “absolutely” mention “inflation” during his first State of the Union speech — despite a senior aide telling reporters Biden may avoid using the dreaded I-word.“The president will absolutely use the word inflation tomorrow and he will talk about inflation in his speech. Of course that is a huge issue on the minds of Americans,” Psaki said at her daily press briefing when asked about her colleague’s remark.Inflation hit a 40-year high last month and the spike in consumer costs is contributing to a gloomy national mood and Biden’s slumping approval rating.
