Rising gas prices frustrate voters. Trump says it’s an ‘inexpensive price to pay’ for the Iran war

Skyrocketing gas prices are causing financial hardships for families, forcing some to choose between fuel and groceries. This affordability crisis, combined with an unpopular war in Iran and weak approval ratings for Donald Trump, creates a sour political environment for Republicans as midterm early voting begins. While strategist Chris Wilson notes that gas prices are a real-time economic indicator for voters, Trump maintains that these rising costs are an inexpensive price to pay for the Iran war.
