A lot of them saw the Biden "I did that" stickers blaming him for fuel prices at gas stations, and they believed it.

They saw Trump on Fox News saying that other countries would eat the cost of tariffs because they would rather lose profit than our business, and they believed it.

They didn't see Biden investigate grocers and deny mergers, they didn't see him using the US petro reserves to stabilize prices, they didn't see him pass the many great things on affordability in the Inflation Reduction Act, they didn't see him push affordable alternatives to power and fuel like solar and EVs, they didn't see him allow new drilling sites despite pushback, they didn't see it because whenever it was put in their faces they chose not to see it.
