As Donald Trump and Republicans gather for their so-called midterm convention in Dallas today, the global oil price hit $100 a barrel for the first time since July.
Trump, JD Vance, and Republicans led America into a war with Iran that continues to drag toward the seven-month mark with no end in sight. Everyday Americans have already spent an additional $72 billion on gas since Trump’s war began — approximately $604 per household.
Earlier this year, Trump admitted he doesn’t consider Americans’ financial situations “even a little bit,” and said he will “never apologize” for prices increasing as a result of his war with Iran.
In response, DNC Rapid Response Director Kendall Witmer released the following statement:
“As Donald Trump and his Republicans kick off their dog-and-pony show, everyday Americans are grappling with gas prices that just keep getting more expensive. Instead of providing any relief to working families, or fixing the mess they created, Republicans are focused on inflating Trump’s ego. Voters will remember who is fighting to lower costs come November.”
