Harris Blames Trump for Gas Prices, Contrasting Past Stance on 'Price to Pay for Democracy

Former Vice President Kamala Harris blamed President Donald Trump for rising gas prices linked to the U.S.-Iran war, a reversal from her 2019 statement that high fuel costs were a 'price to pay for democracy.' The move comes as gas prices surge amid tensions in the Middle East. Harris' shift on the issue may be seen as part of her growing profile as a potential presidential candidate. Trump's administration had previously attributed rising gas prices to global market fluctuations.
