Further have to say in fairness to the average american (which... apparently the average american voted for trump).
It's not just the price of eggs... it's basically everything... simply in anecdotal evidence, in the last few years, the price of all living essentials went up. Most people are experiencing their average grocery trip going up 50% or more... Rents skyrocketing etc...
and the democrats were bad at messaging. When things are hard, people blame the leaders, and Biden does get a lot of credit for, minimizing the damages covid did to our prices etc... Unfortunately the average american heard his response to it as "I did great, everything is good now". Which didn't work, because while things may be as good as they could be with the cards that fell... they are very far from good.
So yes, it's lack of knowledge. Certainly the biggest point to be made is, trumps tariff plan is massively going to raise the price on everything, economist after economist has pointed out it will raise the price. But honestly I didn't see much of attacking those plans in harris's attack ads.
