Former Vice President Kamala Harris blamed high gas prices on President Donald Trump’s involvement in Iran in a video posted Wednesday on X.
“Since the start of Trump’s war of choice, it’s 15 more dollars every time you fill up your tank of gas,” she said while outside a gas station in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Kamala was in Charlotte as part of her book tour.
“We’ve got a president who is paying more attention to what he thinks is in his best political interest and personal interest as opposed to what is in the best interest of working people in America,” she said.
BESSENT ‘OPTIMISTIC’ GAS PRICES WILL FALL TO $3 A GALLON BY MIDSUMMER
The war in Iran has contributed to rising gas prices following the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, through which much of the world’s oil is transported.
The United States blockaded the strait after recent negotiations between Washington and Tehran to end the war had faltered.
Gas prices have been slowly dropping over the past week, according to AAA.
