Republicans Betray American Families Again to Appease Trump

As Americans experience record-high gas prices, Senate Republicans continue to abandon them and back Trump

Washington, DC – As the MAGA coalition fractures over record-high gas prices, vulnerable Republicans like Ohio Senator Jon Husted are trying to save face and convince voters they want to bring an end to Trump’s war in Iran. However, at today’s Senate vote, when given the opportunity to stop Trump’s war in Iran and bring down prices at home, Husted completely caved. 

Climate Power Communications Director Alex Glass released the following statement: “Once again, Senate Republicans chose Trump over their own voters. Jon Husted spent all week calling for an end to Trump’s Iran war and the skyrocketing gas and diesel prices it’s causing — then folded the second he could actually take action. And that’s after spending 6 months backing the war every chance he got. With 40 days to go, vulnerable Republicans are showing exactly whose back they’ve got: Donald Trump’s.”
