What a major grocery merger means for consumers

Two of the largest grocery store chains in the country are planning to merge. Kroger’s announced last Friday that it will buy its competitor Albertsons for nearly $25 billion. Together, Kroger and Albertsons have about 5,000 stores and almost 750,ooo workers. This deal could change the way people buy food, as inflation pushes prices higher and higher. Plus, ten years of Xi Jinping’s leadership in China, and how the next five could affect the US. Guests: Axios’ Claire Rychlewski and Bethany Allen-Ebrahimian.
