Steve Moore Urges Trump to Cut Gas Prices by $1 After Midterm Losses

1 articles · Updated · Fox News · Nov 6

Steve Moore called on President Donald Trump to act immediately after Republican midterm losses, urging an emergency push to lower pump prices by 50 cents a gallon or more.
His plan centers on suspending the 18.4-cent federal gas tax and renewable fuel rules that he said add up to 45 cents a gallon, with some states seeing more than $1 in relief if ethanol mandates end.
Moore said Trump should pair the move with a national address, challenge Congress to pass emergency relief when it reconvenes Nov. 9, and force Democrats to defend any opposition.
He tied the proposal to voter anger over affordability, arguing exit polls showed many families felt financially worse off and that gas prices were the clearest driver of the GOP's defeat.
Beyond immediate relief, Moore urged permitting reform for pipelines and refineries and pressed governors to cut state gas taxes until prices fall well below $4 a gallon.
