US EditionRising gas prices from Iran war imperil Trump's Republican majority in ...
- On Wednesday, House Republicans gathered in Doral, Florida, to address affordability concerns as gasoline prices surge amid the ongoing war with Iran.
- Gasoline prices hit $3.25 per gallon, rising nearly 9 percent after the bombing campaign began, as conflict in the Strait of Hormuz virtually shut down this critical chokepoint for global crude oil shipments.
- Senator Rick Scott stated Wednesday that prices will remain elevated until the United States regains control over the Strait of Hormuz, arguing the U.S. had "no choice" but to enter the conflict.
- House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., echoed President Donald Trump's assurance that the war is "nearly completed," while White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt argued the war will deliver lower prices over the "long term."
- Lawmakers expressed private concerns that the war's uncertainty could overshadow their policy agenda, though some are holding out hope the conflict ends before Election Day, sparing them from political headache.
