"Americans, I mean, we know they want lower gas prices, they want lower grocery prices, they want things back to normal. Lotter then confronted Self with a new NPR/PBS/Marist poll, which shows 81% [of Americans] say the pain at the pump is really putting a strain on their household budgets, while 63% place a great deal or good amount of blame on President Trump."
"Well, we do need to get the prices down because it is a key and look, the November election will turn on the economy unless we have this war still going, which we are not, so it will turn on the economy, and I believe that once people get the idea that their lives are improving, and they are improving in many factors but we do need to get that price down because it's right there in your face every day when you buy gasoline or diesel."
"Everybody was wrong, claimed Trump. They thought that energy would be at $300, right? Three hundred dollars a barrel. And it's, like, at $100. And I think going down. And I see it going down very substantially when this is over."
A poll shows 81% of Americans experience financial strain from high gas prices affecting household budgets, with 63% blaming President Trump. Newsmax host Marc Lotter questioned Rep. Keith Self about midterm election concerns regarding the economy. Self acknowledged that gas prices are critical to the November election outcome and emphasized the need to reduce prices since they directly impact daily consumer spending. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent predicted gas prices would fall in coming weeks. Trump claimed predictions of $300 per barrel oil were wrong, noting prices remain around $100 and expects further declines once the conflict concludes.
