"Tom Steyer stated, 'The reason that gasoline is so expensive, that our president, Donald Trump, has started an insane war in Iran and driven up the cost of gasoline for everybody in California.'"
"'Californians are suffering across the board. The biggest problem in California is that the Californians can't afford to live here anymore,' Steyer added."
"'The answer on this is not to give up the gas tax, but actually to have a windfall profit tax on the oil companies who have been ripping us off for decades,' Steyer concluded."
The California gubernatorial debate highlighted candidates' criticisms of President Trump, particularly regarding high gas prices linked to his policies. Six candidates participated, including two Republicans and four Democrats. Tom Steyer emphasized the need for a windfall profit tax on oil companies instead of cutting the gas tax. He argued that Californians are struggling with living costs and that Trump's actions have exacerbated the situation, benefiting oil companies at the expense of residents. The debate was moderated by Nikki Laurenzo and Frank Buckley.
