Jim Jordan on higher gas prices: ‘that’s life’
Jordan blamed global events for higher gas prices as Collins cited Trump’s promise to cut them below $2 a gallon.
- House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan told CNN host Kaitlan Collins "that's life" during a tense exchange on Thursday regarding rising gas prices.
- Gasoline prices surged to $4.53 per gallon after Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping lane for 20% of the world's oil supply, amid the administration's war with Iran.
- Collins noted Jordan previously criticized the Biden administration when gas cost $3.07, while consumers paid $2.98 before the conflict and now face $4.53 per gallon.
- Jordan defended the administration by arguing gas prices were declining until the current global situation, maintaining that President Trump consistently makes decisions in the nation's best interest.
- President Trump's 2024 campaign pledge to lower gasoline prices to under $2 per gallon for American consumers remains a point of tension as current prices exceed that promise.
