Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) claimed Thursday night that electing Vice President Kamala Harris president would lead to lower grocery prices despite the fact that inflation has skyrocketed over the last four years during the Biden-Harris administration.
Warren made the comments as she spoke during the final night of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago on Thursday. Throughout her speech, she claimed that Harris would be better on economic and social issues.
“You know what I love best about Kamala Harris? Kamala Harris can’t be bought and she can’t be bossed around,” Warren claimed after walking onto the stage and breaking out into tears. “We need to make life more affordable for working people.”
Warren repeatedly attacked former President Donald Trump over his legal battles, referring to him as a “criminal” and a “felon.”
“Donald Trump, the felon, has no plans to lower costs for families. He doesn’t know how, and basically, he doesn’t really care,” she claimed. “The only bills he worries about are from his criminal defense lawyers.”
Warren claimed that Harris would take on price gouging and would “lower costs for your family” as president.
“And there it is: groceries, gas, housing, health care, taxes, abortion,” she said. “We need Kamala Harris. This election is about your family and your future.”
Inflation has consistently plagued the Biden-Harris administration, hitting 40-year highs at different points with bread, ground beef, fruits, meat, and vegetables all jumping under her watch.
Dairy products such as milk, cheese, and butter have also jumped more than 30% in price since 2020, according to Yahoo Finance. Eggs are up 54% and cereal has gone up 28% on average across the country.
Last week at a rally in North Carolina, Harris admitted that prices were higher now than they were under Trump.
“We all know that prices went up during the pandemic when the supply chains shut down and failed, but our supply chains have now improved, and prices are still too high. A loaf of bread costs 50% more today than it did before the pandemic. Ground beef is up almost 50%,” she said.
Trump reacted on Truth Social to Warren’s speech by criticizing her over her dubious claims of American Indian ancestry.
She’s also going to cure the common cold.
The most immediate way to significantly lower food prices is to lower fuel prices back to 2019 prices under President Trump.
Reducing money supply, interest rates, etc., will all eventually help decrease the rate of increase, but it won’t actually lower prices.
“Prosperity is just around the corner.”
Squaw Grey Beaver speek’um with fork-ed tongue.
Their voters must be all toked up on peyote
She lacks substance, she is not even a serious candidate. It's a show, perhaps the biggest scam ever perpetrated in an American election.
Assuming Kamala’s intimidation tactics work (we all know they won’t but for sake of this comment we’ll play along.)
Isn’t this the same group of Demonrats that want to raise taxes by something like 15%?
So, you save on groceries but the IRS passes the savings on to... you guessed it!

She is SUCH a demented liar! Just random babbling that sounds good. It’s frightening how many people fall for it.
DEMOCRATS = LIARS
Do the what’s in the President’s Job Description and stay away from food
the economic collapse from a wealth tax could bring prices down
Good point! But with few exceptions, grocery prices are NEVER coming down. The only way to do that would be to increase the supply, and I don’t see anything in the DNC proposals to increase the supply of meat, poultry, and other staples. The exception may be insects, as our benevolent overlords decide what is for dinner this time next year.
It’ll definitely bring home price down!...........
You can’t lower grocery prices if you keep printing dollars, growing government spending, making energy more expensive, and punishing the food producers with regulations and taxes.
Lyawatha speak with forked tongue again.
Pedo Pete can.
We know what she is.
We’re just negotiating the price
