Trump's Low-Gas-Pricing Pitch Tested by Gas Surge Tied to Iran Conflict in Swing States

A surge in gas prices has hit swing states ahead of the US midterm elections, testing President Donald Trump's promise of low-cost gasoline. The increase in fuel costs is a major concern for voters, particularly as they prepare to cast their ballots. Mr. Trump's campaign had focused on low gas prices during his February rally in Ohio, but the recent price hike may have dealt a blow to his pitch. The issue could also become a key factor in determining voter support for his party.
