Soaring Grocery Prices Become Headache for Biden as Food Inflation Persists

Inflation rose to 3.5% in March, continuing to hurt Americans' wallets and Biden's approval rating despite his promises that it was "transitory".

Food inflation was a major culprit, with prices surging for eggs (up 103.4%), coffee (up 30%), chicken, beef, bread, and more.

Biden called on corporations and retailers to use record profits to reduce prices, but they have also faced higher costs.

Impact on food prices has become central to 2024 election debates, with Biden accused of "gaslighting" about inflation.

A grocery basket of basic foods now costs 57% more than at the end of Trump's term, according to a Super PAC's "Biden-Mart" website.
