Republicans face an uphill battle heading into the midterms as a major “grocery price shock” appears poised to surge already-inflated food costs, Axios reported Sunday.

“The next grocery price shock could hit much harder — and wider. And midterms are 65 days away,” Axios’ Mike Allen wrote in the outlet’s Sunday morning newsletter.

A convergence of factors has sent grocery prices soaring in recent months, chief among them being President Donald Trump’s tariffs and his deeply unpopular war with Iran. A recent string of “poor weather” that has sent corn and wheat prices to their highest levels in three years, however, coupled with the ongoing Russo-Ukraine war, risks sending grocery prices even higher.

“Wheat’s a key ingredient in pantry staples, and corn is a major animal feed. So as they go up, so can meat, dairy and eggs,” Axios’ report reads. “Add all these pressures to the list of already inflated food items: Instant coffee is up 15.8% year-over-year; tomatoes, 12.8%; beef roasts, 13.5%; apples, 11.1%. There’s reason to believe it’s only going to get worse.”
