""My constituents are saving thousands of dollars and they know it. Republicans can and should take credit because the alternative would've been massive tax hikes under the Democrats had they won the 2024 election.""
""We need to ensure that the spike is only temporary and that we get those prices back down as soon as possible so we have all three: low taxes, affordable gas and a safer nation.""
""The threat of rising prices was further underscored by new federal data published Friday showing inflation at its highest level in two years, with energy costs accounting for the bulk of the spike.""
""House GOP leaders hope the deregulatory effort will help assuage some rank-and-file Republicans who want to do more to address cost-of-living issues ahead of the midterms.""
Rep. Nicole Malliotakis emphasized that constituents are saving money due to Republican tax cuts, contrasting this with potential tax hikes under Democrats. She downplayed concerns that the Iran conflict would impact GOP messaging on affordability, asserting that rising gas prices must be addressed to maintain low taxes and a safer nation. Recent federal data showed inflation at a two-year high, primarily driven by energy costs. Congressional focus is currently on other issues, with GOP leaders hoping deregulatory efforts will address cost-of-living concerns before the midterms.
