“Costs are still too high," the 2024 Democratic nominee said. "And on a deeper level, for too many people, no matter how much they work, it feels so hard to just be able to get ahead. As president, I will take on the high costs that matter most to most Americans, like the cost of food. We all know that prices went up during the pandemic, when the supply chains shut down and failed, but our supply chains have now improved and prices are still too high."
