GOP Senators Scramble to Distance Themselves from Record-High Gas Prices

Rising gas prices have become a major issue for Republican Senate candidates as they scramble to rewrite their stance on the Iran war, which has led to record-high diesel costs.

The war with Iran has resulted in diesel prices hitting 'daily all-time highs' and gas prices approaching their highest level of the year, according to NBC News. The global shipping, rail, and trucking industries rely heavily on diesel, translating to higher costs for consumers.

GOP Senate candidates have been criticized for their previous support of the war, with many now claiming they want it to end quickly in order to lower gas prices. However, their actions do not match their words, as they continue to profit from investments in oil and gas.
