DNC Mocked for Misleading Grocery Price Chart

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) was widely mocked after posting, then quickly deleting, a social media chart that attempted to blame former President Donald Trump for record-high grocery prices. The chart instead showed that grocery prices surged during Joe Biden’s presidency, peaking between 2021 and 2024, and plateaued after Trump's return to office in January 2025. Social media users and commentators noted that the chart inadvertently highlighted rapid inflation under Biden and more stable prices under Trump. The White House's rapid response account drew attention to the DNC's mistake, emphasizing the inaccuracy. Federal data confirm that food prices rose by over 22% during Biden's term, with minimal increases since Trump's return. The incident has been widely described as an embarrassing error for the DNC.
