REPUBLICANS DID THAT: National Gas Average Rises to $4/Gallon

House Republicans are recklessly bending the knee to Donald Trump’s war of choice in Iran, which is rapidly accelerating the affordability crisis at home.

Because of Donald Trump and House Republicans, the national gas average has risen to $4 per gallon, the highest since August of 2022. 

The sharp rise in gas prices comes as everyday Americans are struggling to make ends meet as everything gets more expensive. A recent CBS News YouGov poll found that 53% of Americans say Trump is making people WORSE OFF financially. Even worse: 60% of Independents say Trump’s policies are making them WORSE OFF – up from 38% in October 2024.

DCCC Spokesperson Justin Chermol:
“House Republicans ran on making life more affordable, but haven’t done a damn thing to lower prices for everyday Americans. The crisis at home and abroad is on these phony moderates in swing districts who have refused to act as a check-and-balance on this out of control president.”
