Democrats Condemn Trump’s Broken Food Price Promise
Democratic lawmakers, led by Senator Elizabeth Warren, criticized President Trump for failing to address rising food prices despite campaign promises to lower grocery bills immediately. The letter highlights Trump’s focus on other issues, such as immigration and pardons, while offering only minimal, non-specific measures to combat rising grocery costs, which have increased by 1.8% from December 2023 to December 2024. The Democrats argue that corporate price gouging exacerbates this issue, and urge Trump to utilize existing regulatory tools to address it. The administration countered that its actions to increase domestic energy production would indirectly lower costs for families.
