Inflation — especially the cost of essentials like housing, groceries, and gas — was a major issue for many voters in last November’s election, but President Donald Trump may find it easier said than done to get the price of eggs down, according to a Fox Business report.
An article by Fox News Digital breaking news writer Alexandra Koch noted that egg prices “are up 36.8% from this time last year,” according to the Consumer Price Index.
Data compiled by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics showed that a dozen Grade A large eggs — the most popular type offered in most grocery stores across the country — cost $2.51 in December 2023 and increased to $4.14 a year later, in December 2024.
