RNC Statement on New Biden Gas Hike Record

Press Release

WASHINGTON – Today, Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel released the following statement on the new Biden Gas Hike record: 

“Joe Biden has set a new record -- Americans are now paying an average of more than $4.50 per gallon because of his failed agenda. Families can’t afford the rising costs of groceries and the price of filling up their cars, all while real wages continue to fall. The Biden Gas Hike is hurting those who can afford it the least, and he doesn’t seem to care as he doubles down on the policies that put Americans in this mess.”

Background:

  • Today, U.S. gas and diesel prices reached yet another new record high of $4.52 per gallon.
    • This is the eighth day in a row gas prices have hit new highs.
    • Diesel also hit a new record high of $5.57 per gallon.
    • Every state now has average gas prices of over $4 per gallon.
