With gas prices at an all-time high, the National Republican Congressional Committee is taking aim at 10 House Democrats with new ads blaming them for the soaring prices at the pump.
Republicans have been hammering congressional Democrats on inflation and on rising gas prices since last summer, as they aim to win back majorities in both the House and Senate in the 2022 midterms. The GOP needs a net gain of just five seats in the 435-member House this November to win back the majority it lost in the 2018 elections. And a rising Republican chorus has criticized Biden for handicapping the nation’s oil and gas production.
"Even amid the pandemic, companies in the U.S. pumped more oil during my first year in office than they did during my predecessor’s first year," the president stated. While the White House has used the comparison to former President Trump’s first year in office, in 2017, to make the point that it haven’t capped oil production, it fails to note that production was higher in 2019 under Trump, before the pandemic swept the nation.The president also pointed out that 90% of onshore domestic oil production takes place on nonfederal-government-owned land.
