1 Republican Senate Nominees Break With Trump Over Iran War Fuel Costs 🇺🇸 US Politics Sep 21, 2:26 PM EDT 11/10
▶
▶Ashley Hinson of Iowa and Mike Rogers of Michigan, both Republican Senate candidates, are calling for an immediate end to the war in Iran to lower consumer fuel prices. Hinson proposes several measures to reduce energy costs, including the suspension of the gas tax and the reinstatement of a $1 per gallon biodiesel tax credit to provide relief for truckers and farmers.
The candidates' demands represent a departure from the current administration's strategy as cost-of-living pressures mount. Rogers is seeking a temporary embargo on diesel exports to stabilize domestic supplies, while Hinson recently voted against six House resolutions to end the conflict. Hinson also advocated for the expansion of E-15 fuel availability and the creation of a diesel relief program.
