This is just dead wrong and misleading.
The fact is that inflation has been cooling and while that perhaps hasn’t had an impact yet on consumers and voters, we are a year away from the general election. I have seen tides shift dramatically in less than twelve months in prior election cycles, often based on the economy.
As to food inflation:
Food prices both for food at home (grocery prices) and food away from home (dining out and other sources) through October increased 0.3 after rising 0.2 in each of the past three months, the report said.
That hardly is a fever pitch.
Inflation is a big problem, and we still have high inflation.
0.3%, month over month. And it is not just the actual inflation rate, but that it is continuing to incrementally increase upwards again.
