Warren Criticizes Proposed Sysco–Restaurant Depot Merger and Says Trump Has Biggest Grifts in History

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a Massachusetts Democrat, warned on Sunday against a proposed merger between Sysco and Restaurant Depot, saying it could raise restaurant prices. In a post on X, she said eating out at a favorite restaurant could become even more expensive and that the Trump administration might approve the deal. A day earlier, on Saturday, she appeared on MS NOW's "Connect," where she said President Donald Trump has the biggest grifts going in American history. She tied that criticism to Trump's time as president over the last two years. The available reports do not say whether the merger has been formally approved or what happens next.

Alternative and independent coverage, represented by The Hill, leads with the merger warning, centering Warren's X post and her concern about consumer prices. Right-leaning coverage, represented by Breitbart, instead leads with her Saturday television remarks and the grifts claim, quoting her directly on Trump. Both sides feature Warren as the only voice and agree she criticized Trump or his administration over the weekend. Left-leaning outlets tracked by Crosswire had not reported this story at the time of writing, while alternative and right-leaning outlets had, each focusing on a different Warren statement.
