As President Biden campaigns for a potential second term, small business owners across America are sounding the alarm about the economic consequences of another four years under his leadership.
Maher Youssef, owner of Pluto Organic Cafe, didn't hold back when sharing his thoughts on "Fox & Friends" Thursday.
Since President Biden took office in 2021, prices have jumped by nearly 20%. The cost of everyday items continues to climb, with the consumer price index showing a 3.4% increase from March to April alone.
Grocery prices have been hit particularly hard, surging by a shocking 21% over the past three years, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Katlyn Swaffer, co-owner of Just Baked Bakery and Deli, shared an example of how these price hikes are affecting her business.
As small businesses are forced to pass on these costs to their customers, they're seeing a drop in sales and foot traffic.
With inflation and the economy at the forefront of voters' minds, the idea of four more years of Bidenomics has small business owners and families across the country fearing the worst.
