Sort of? But "price gouging" isn't the issue at all, the issue is inflation and lack of supply. If you limit how a company can charge for an in-demand product (say, eggs), there's much less incentive to find more supply (say, imports from another country). It's nonsensical.

But I don't think that's why she lost. I think she lost because she said in an interview that, given hindsight, she wouldn't change anything if she were in power instead of Biden. That's a giant slap in the face to the average voter who saw a ton of problems during his administration and want to see something change to address those problems.
