- Rep. Mike Flood (R-Neb.) agreed Sunday that prices are too high, acknowledging it's an issue his constituents raise with him.
- Flood framed the high-price environment as 'the hand you're dealt' in the context of the Trump administration's war with Iran.
- The congressman made the comments during an appearance on 'The Hill Sunday,' hosted by Chris Stirewalt.
Why it matters: A Republican lawmaker publicly conceding voter frustration over prices — while attributing it to the administration's Iran conflict rather than offering remedies — signals a defensive GOP posture on inflation. Flood's 'hand you're dealt' framing concedes the political pain point but pins responsibility on the war, not on policy choices.
