Vice President Kamala Harris's campaign will argue that corporate price gouging is a key factor in high grocery prices, a message which resonates with swing voters.
Progressive groups have increasingly pointed to price gouging as a significant contributor to inflation, leading to the call for a federal ban on such practices in grocery sales.
While the Biden administration acknowledges that corporate behavior has influenced grocery costs, the majority of economists attribute price increases to broader factors such as supply chain disruptions and stimuli-induced demand.
The term 'price gouging' is not universally defined, and the Harris campaign faces scrutiny over the evidence that supports their claim linking grocery prices to corporate behavior.
