I'm not from the us so take this with a grain of salt. A lot comes from how inflation is calculated and i think a big part of US inflation is currently energy and housing?

Housing is in higher demand in conservative areas, prices for housing go up relative to liberal areas.

Conservatives tend to live in less dense areas? so need more gasoline? so they need are hit harder by higher oil prices.

But remember a lot comes from how the statistics are calculated and sometimes they change it so some politician looks better on paper.
