Grocery store-owning congressman blasts 'reckless' Harris plan to target price gouging

Rep. Michael Rulli (R-OH), who owns a grocery store, said Vice President Kamala Harris’s plan to prevent “price-gouging” in the food industry would backfire by creating shortages and causing grocery stores to shutter.

Rulli, who owns the Rulli Bros. Markets, based in Youngstown, Ohio, along with his brothers, spoke to the Washington Examiner about Harris’s plan Tuesday. During an interview, Rulli said Harris’s plan is “reckless” and would lead to pain for consumers, calling it “dangerous rhetoric” from the Democratic presidential nominee.
