Vice President Kamala Harris admitted to a small group of supporters Friday that the cost of food has been “too high” under President Biden.
“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,” the Democratic presidential nominee, 59, said during a campaign stop in Raleigh, NC, in a speech outlining her new economic plan.
“A loaf of bread costs 50% more today than it did before the pandemic,” Harris continued, validating one of former President Donald Trump’s central campaign messaging points, which is that the economy was in far better shape during his presidency.
“Ground beef is up almost 50%,” she added, prompting someone in the intimate audience to exclaim, “Wow.”
The 59-year-old vice president blamed the soaring cost of food on ”bad actors,” such as “big food companies,” which she claimed are “seeing their highest profits in two decades,” and “grocery store chains” that are allegedly “not passing the savings” to consumers.
Notably absent in her critique of food prices under the Biden administration is the role the inflation crisis has played in the cost of groceries.
Harris mentioned inflation only once in her speech, when she celebrated the latest economic data showing it was “down under 3%.”
The US grappled with inflation levels not seen in 40 years — peaking at 9.1% in June 2022 — under Biden, 81.

No moron woman. The dollar is worth less, so it takes more of them to buy the same thing. It isn’t a rise in prices. When the tide comes in, this simpleton thinks the land is rising.
Fuel cost impacts farming, delivery and storage.

Doesn’t say how many small businesses went bankrupt during forced shutdowns, or how many died in nursing homes. No real investigation into where covid really came from. No words about shutting down pipelines, banning drilling and fracking, removal of tariffs, or the fact that her and the Biden admin caused inflation. Oh, and how many billions did we give Ukraine without any accountability?
Earlier in the week the media was blaming corporations for a new buzzword - greedflation. It apparently comes from the companies committing the 21st century crime of trying to make a profit,
Kamala is making absurd commie excuses for the causes of inflation. She proposes Marxist class warfare as the solution. Those damn Kulaks are at it again. She has exposed herself as a Stalinist. No one can say they weren’t warned.
Something's in the gutter - "Biden..."
Her ….. unburdened by the past mantra (interesting no one else has picked up on that) seemed stupid, but now makes sense. She does not want to be burdened by her past or even her present.
She/they talk about day 1 as if she hasn’t been part of day 1000+ of being in power. The problems she says she will “fix” on day 1 she helped create.
The candidate who dropped out before any primary votes were cast(2020) and got 0 primary votes in 2024 for president is the perfect candidate for the dims.
Without the media sycophants she would have been gone 3 weeks ago. Let’s see if putting a lid on her for 3 months will work.
Having Elon and X not in their pocket this time is putting quite the crimp in their plan. I also wonder when YouTube will start blocking all the content like they did before. Not good seeing black men “disparaging “ their third coming
There is only one cause of inflation — government.
someone in the intimate audience to exclaim, “Wow.”
They been living under a rock? Paid shill or just stupid?
She and the media have to work long hours for them to shift the blame for this elsewhere.
Kam is coming up with economic ideas that come from Soros and Obozo. Kam doesn’t have a clue what reality is in the political arena, she is just following orders. Obozo and Soros’ goals are to destroy the American dollar and the collapse of social order and moral ideals in America.
“Kamala Harris admits food prices have surged under Biden: ‘Still too high’”
Kamala Harris admits food prices have surged under Biden and his clueless VP
There, fixed it
Elect Kamala and we will have low prices with no food for sale.
correction:
under Biden / Harris
she’s right there in the middle of it
Oil drives everything only these idiots can’t figure it out.
This is pablum for their low-information voters.
Just like they cannot define when corporations have paid their “fair share,” they will be unable to define when food prices are low enough or when Big Food has stopped “gouging.”
Their war on energy, productivity, and REAL freedom will continue to cause food price increases.
Not a problem.
Day one, camalatoe will dramatically have a fifty percent price cut
from groceries to ev's.
Even if Covid was the entire reason for inflation the democrats and Kamala haven’t t done anything to fix it in four years.
Unburdened by the past,
Unburdened by common sense,
Unburdened by critical thinking,
Unburdened by truth,
Unburdened by reality.
