Overview

• Democratic National Committee’s X account posted a graph labeling rising grocery prices as taking place in “Trump’s America” despite price spikes occurring after Biden took office.
• Users on X and conservative commentators mocked the chart as a major mislabel that actually tracked inflation during the Biden administration.
• The White House Rapid Response account added its own “Biden” label to highlight the error before the DNC deleted the original post on July 25.
• The DNC removed the misleading tweet after receiving a surge of derisive reactions characterizing it as a self-inflicted political blunder.
• Federal data show food prices climbed over 22% under Biden and have risen about 0.6% since Trump assumed office in January.
