Press Release

WASHINGTON – Today, Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel released the following statement on gas prices hitting a new record high every day for two weeks:
 
“Because of the Biden Gas Hike, Americans are feeling the pain at the pump now more than ever. Paired with historic inflation and shortages for basic goods like baby formula, the rising cost of gas is the result of Joe Biden and Democrats’ anti-U.S. energy agenda. Unfortunately, Biden only plans to make this crisis worse for families by not doing anything.”

  • Gas prices have either risen or remained flat every day for 29 straight days according to AAA.
