Jeffries Blasts Trump Over $4.55 Gas as Democrats Target November House Races

1 articles · Updated · Fox News · May 11

$4.55 a gallon is the average U.S. gas price Jeffries cited as he accused Trump of making life more expensive and tied pump pain to Democrats’ bid to retake the House in November.
More than $1.50 has been added to average gas prices since Operation Epic Fury began on Feb. 28, with oil-flow disruptions through the Strait of Hormuz during the Iran conflict driving the surge, according to AAA.
60% of voters told Fox News gas prices are a major household problem, while Democrats hold an 8-point edge on inflation and nearly three-quarters say the economy is getting worse.
Jeffries’ attack contrasts with March 2022, when he urged Republicans not to politicize gas-price spikes under Biden and said sacrifice might be required after Russia invaded Ukraine.
Chris Wright, Trump’s energy secretary, said prices will stay elevated while the conflict persists but eventually fall below prewar levels once hostilities end and energy flows improve.
