Summary
Democratic lawmakers, led by Sen. Elizabeth Warren, criticized Trump for failing to address rising food costs despite campaign promises to lower prices “immediately.”
In a letter, they accused Trump of focusing on mass deportations and January 6 pardons instead of tackling grocery inflation, which rose 1.8% in 2024, with egg prices up 36.8%.
Trump’s administration defended its actions, citing efforts to reduce inflation by cutting energy costs.
Did Kamala/Democrats promise to fix the food prices? Followed your election and don’t recall them saying that, it is possible I could have missed it
So this is the absolute batshit insane part of the Kamala/Harris campaign. If you looked through their published policy platform, yes they had plans to try and regulate corporate price gouging. However, they did not campaign on these plans, did not elaborate on those plans whenever the economy was brought up, and largely tried to deflect when asked about their plans by claiming the American economy is strong and had no issues.
Kamala had plans. Somebody told her to keep her mouth shut, probably because it would scare off the donors they were trying to court.
The reason Kamala lost is because nobody in the Democratic National Committee thought to say “We will raise your wages and break up the monopolies raising prices at the grocery store and the pump”
Because the main DNC campaign donors are Billionaires and Lobbies, and well, see, that would eat into corporate profits. The Republican Billionaires however are very very happy to lie to get exactly what they want. So Trump won. Because, and I don’t say this lightly, 30% of Americans are greedy gullible morons. And our political system is so broken due to vote suppression and the ignorant fact that population center votes count for less than rural ones.
