"CNN's Manu Raju pointed out that Donald Trump frequently touted low gas prices during his presidency, but when prices rose under Biden, he shifted to attacking the current administration. Raju stated, 'And the person who liked to talk about it a lot was none other than Donald J. Trump.'"
"Trump claimed, 'Energy just hit $1.98 in a couple of states. It's way down.' However, fact-checks indicated that gas prices were actually averaging $2.70 per gallon at that time, and no stations were found selling gas at $1.98."
"Kristen Holmes, a CNN White House correspondent, noted that there is significant concern within the White House regarding rising gas prices and their potential impact on the upcoming midterm elections, stating, 'They are watching this creep closer and closer to November.'"
Average gas prices in the United States exceeded $4.00 per gallon for the first time since 2022 amid the ongoing Iran war. CNN's Manu Raju highlighted Donald Trump's past comments on gas prices, noting his tendency to boast when prices were low and criticize Biden when they rose. Trump claimed energy prices were significantly lower under his administration, but fact-checks revealed inaccuracies in his statements. The White House is increasingly concerned about the political implications of rising gas prices as the midterm elections approach.
