"The View" co-host Sunny Hostin claimed that President-elect Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign didn't discuss high egg prices during the latest episode of the daytime ABC talk show.
While expressing frustration over voters prioritizing kitchen table issues over Trump’s alleged threat to democracy, Hostin declared that Trump didn’t even talk about core economic issues – such as the price of eggs – during his campaign.
"Most people are saying, ‘Well this was a kitchen table issue, this was about the cost of eggs.' Donald Trump never talked about the price of eggs," Hostin said on Tuesday.
Despite Hostin’s allegation, Trump spoke about the high cost of eggs multiple times during his campaign. He shared an infographic to Truth Social in September showing how various grocery staples were more expensive under the Biden administration than they were under Trump.
In addition to showing that milk prices were up, as well as the price of ham and chicken, Trump’s graphic pointed out that the price of a case of eggs was up $2 from during his administration.
During a campaign stop at a Pennsylvania grocery store that same month, then-vice presidential candidate JD Vance lamented about the price of eggs to reporters, stating, "Eggs, when Kamala Harris took office, were short of $1.50 a dozen. Now, a dozen eggs will cost you around $4 thanks to her inflationary policies."
Both Trump and personal finance expert and radio host Dave Ramsey discussed "$8 eggs, $5 gas, 7% interest rates and a house they can’t afford, with wages not going up as fast as house prices," during an October interview.
High grocery prices and inflation in general were a key topic throughout the campaign.

I believe her husband is a plastic surgeon so she is just his canvas to practice on. It never ends well after 70.
She is the most ignorantly host, I think she and joyless Joy Reid share an IQ point between them
That is true, to think that her comment is one of the key moments that are listed as reasons for Harris’s failure must eat at her like stage 4 cancer
Such a pretty woman without a hint of a brain.
“Such a pretty woman without a hint of a brain.”
At one time she was a Federal Prosecutor.
At one time Kamala was a Prosecutor. Two minority women with a hint of a brain with high degrees. I wonder how that happened.
Correction: withOUT a hint of a brain
Recovering agricultural economist here: the fluctuations in the price of poultry products is directly attributable to the bird flu epidemic and not to the economy in general and politics specifically.
Even if we were living in a perfect economy with the most popular president of all time, egg prices would have necessarily soared for no other reason than the law of supply and demand.
Oh, while I’m on the subject, you know all the different brands of eggs you see on the supermarket shelf toting different heath benefits and pretty packaging? Forget about it. The eggs are all the same. They all come from the same chickens through the same processing plant. The only difference is the packaging and the artificially inflated prices.
Sunny Hostin is like racism. The less both are talked about, the better.
The Vile
She’s nuttier than squirrel poop.
THAT is clever!
They enjoy hogging all the stupid.
Oh boy, another View thread.
So, you’re saying that eggs weren’t subject to inflation like all other food products?
Of all the unforced errors that silly broad committed this might be the most egregious.
Is this vessel of brilliance telling us she tuned in for every rally? I heard him mention the cost of groceries all of the time. Last I checked, eggs are groceries. He sure did mention the bacon a lot lol.
Time to read another legal notice Sunny.
So imagine if people keep reminding Sunny about her question to Kemala by thanking her... 🤣
Hostin is a real skank.
The “ladies” on The View are not remotely “news” people. They are just vile, evil women who say what their vile, evil audience wants them to say.
