- Rep. Mike Flood (R-Neb.) said on Sunday that "prices are too high," noting it is an issue constituents raise with him directly.
- Flood characterized the cost burden as "the hand you're dealt" tied to the Trump administration's war with Iran.
- Flood made the remarks on "The Hill Sunday" with host Chris Stirewalt.
Why it matters: A sitting House Republican publicly conceding that prices are too high while blaming them on the Iran conflict gives opponents a direct quote to use against GOP incumbents in the midterm cycle, and tests whether the party's war justification can hold against kitchen-table economic grievances.
