The letter, addressed to Trump, accuses the president of backtracking on a campaign promise to lower supermarket bills starting on Day 1 of his term.
“During your campaign, you repeatedly promised you would lower food prices ‘immediately’ if elected president,” read the letter, which was sent to Trump on Sunday evening and shared first with NBC News.
The letter comes as food prices continue to rise.
In May, she sent a letter to then-President Joe Biden imploring his administration to lower food costs through better federal enforcement of price manipulation.
“If Donald Trump is serious about working to lower grocery prices, he should buckle down, pick up these tools to lower egg prices and deliver on his promises,” Warren said.
McGovern added that Trump “hasn’t done a damn thing to lower food prices or help the hardworking people struggling to put food on the table.”.
About 9 in 10 voters were somewhat or very concerned about the cost of groceries, the letter to Trump pointed out. »
