Cruz on High Gas Prices: 'I Don't Think It's Gonna Impact the Midterms'
Cruz said voters are focused on broader issues as 63% of Americans blame Trump for high gas prices, according to a May PBS News/NPR/Marist poll.
- During a Tuesday interview on CNBC's Squawk Box, Sen. Ted Cruz dismissed concerns that high gas prices or the Iran war will impact midterm elections, stating he has seen "no data" suggesting significant political fallout.
- Rising fuel costs remain a top voter concern, with the national average at $4.29; about 63% of Americans blame President Donald Trump for high gas prices, according to a May PBS News/NPR/Marist poll.
- Cruz characterized the strike on Iran as the "most consequential decision" of Trump's second term, suggesting voters might overlook economic pain if the conflict yields long-term gas price relief.
- Beyond federal politics, the Texas Republican is focused on the Senate race, urging support for Republican nominee Ken Paxton and criticizing Democratic nominee James Talarico as a "very dangerous" candidate.
- Republicans maintain hopes of holding both the House and Senate in November, though current polling shows public skepticism regarding Trump's war management and economic concerns persist.
