Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance visited King Food Supermarket in Reading, Pennsylvania, to draw attention to rising grocery prices, which he attributed to policies implemented by Vice President Kamala Harris. Vance, accompanied by his two sons, highlighted the significant increase in egg prices, stating that a dozen eggs that used to cost under $1.50 now amount to around $4.
Vance expressed concern over the impact of inflationary policies on Pennsylvania, noting that the state has experienced some of the most substantial grocery price hikes in the country. He emphasized the need to address these challenges for the benefit of future generations, particularly emphasizing the importance of affordable food for families with children.
During his visit to the supermarket, Vance engaged with workers and shoppers, receiving a warm reception from the community. One individual even requested Vance to autograph a copy of his book, 'Hillbilly Elegy.'
