From https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/15/business/economy/kamala-harris-inflation-price-gouging.html

Vice President Kamala Harris will highlight an argument that blames corporate price gouging for high grocery prices. That message polls well with swing voters...groups cheered the announcement late Wednesday that Ms. Harris will call for a federal ban on corporate price gouging on groceries in an economic policy speech on Friday.

Soooo...he's officially just plagiarizing her talking points now? Does he think he'll get points for having said it 24 hours before she did? (I'm sure he didn't blame corporate price gouging; probably immigrants if I had to guess.)

"I'd also like to express my fondness for that, uh, particular beer."

How about a federal ban on all price gouging?

Let's not get crazy, now.
