Vice President Kamala Harris is set to address the issue of high food prices in an upcoming economic policy speech in North Carolina. She plans to advocate for a federal ban on price gouging on groceries, with a particular focus on rising meat prices that are contributing significantly to increased grocery bills.
Despite a recent decrease in year-over-year inflation, food prices in the United States remain 21% higher than three years ago, posing challenges for many Americans. President Joe Biden and Vice President Harris are taking steps to address these concerns, including negotiating lower prices for Medicare's costliest drugs.
