While expressing frustration over voters prioritizing kitchen table issues over Trump's alleged threat to democracy, Hostin declared that Trump didn't even talk about core economic issues - such as the price of eggs - during his campaign.

"Most people are saying, 'Well this was a kitchen table issue, this was about the cost of eggs.' Donald Trump never talked about the price of eggs," Hostin said on Tuesday.

In addition to showing that milk prices were up, as well as the price of ham and chicken, Trump's graphic pointed out that the price of a case of eggs was up $2 from during his administration.

During a campaign stop at a Pennsylvania grocery store that same month, then-vice presidential candidate JD Vance lamented about the price of eggs to reporters, stating, "Eggs, when Kamala Harris took office, were short of $1.50 a dozen. Now, a dozen eggs will cost you around $4 thanks to her inflationary policies."

High grocery prices and inflation in general were a key topic throughout the campaign.

The co-host argued that throwing out the case dashed the hopes of voter groups like Black female voters who viewed democracy as a top issue.

She added, "But when the exit polls were taken, the 92% of Black women that voted for the vice president said that the number one issue for them was January 6 and the fall of democracy. So, there were some voters that felt that was very, very important to them." 

All six of the co-hosts of "The View" voted for Kamala Harris.
