The economy and inflation were top issues for Americans in the 2024 election.

SAN RAFAEL, CALIFORNIA - SEPTEMBER 25: A customer shops for eggs at a grocery store on September 25, 2024 in San Rafael, California. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, egg prices have surged over 28 percent in August largely due to avian influenza (HPAI), also known as bird flu. Nearly 101 million birds have been impacted by bird flu since 2022 which has significantly lowered the number of eggs being produced.

The managers of the official X account for the House Ways and Means Committee Democrats quickly deleted a post on Tuesday that mocked Americans for complaining about the economy and inflation.

The Democrats’ account reposted a report on shoppers spending a record amount of money on Black Friday. The Ways and Means Committee commented on the report, “And here we were thinking y’all couldn’t afford eggs!”

Social media users blasted the Ways and Means Committee Democrats for the post dismissing concerns about the economy less than a month after the party was dealt a major electoral defeat, largely due to how Americans view the economy under President Joe Biden. In three years under Biden, egg prices spiked 52.6% in the U.S., Fox Business reported in March.

“As I said it’s built into their DNA to blame voters for rejecting them, as opposed to self reflection of their message and policies. They won’t change because they can’t change,” wrote political commentator Stephen L. Miller.

“They never learn,” said House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN).

House Republican Claudia Tenney of New York, who sits on the Ways and Means Committee, penned a Humpty Dumpty poem criticizing her Democratic colleagues for the post.

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Egg prices soared—he couldn’t afford it all!

Ways and Means Dems tweeted with smiles so wide,
While the cost of eggs kept rising high!

Humpty Dumpty cracked in despair,
“These prices, these prices, they’re too much to bear!”

Democrats laugh, they don’t seem to care,
But we’re stuck paying more for eggs in high-cost despair!

Around 40% of voters in the 2024 election placed the economy at the top of the list of issues facing the country, according to AP VoteCast, a survey of more than 110,000 voters across the U.S.

During the campaign, President-elect Donald Trump focused much of his attention on addressing inflation and economic woes under Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, and it paid off. According to the AP VoteCast survey, “Those who said inflation was the most important factor for their vote were almost twice as likely to support Trump over Harris, and about 6 in 10 voters who said the economy and jobs were the most important issue facing the country were in his camp.”
