JD Vance Desperately Tries to Downplay Huge U.S. Issue

Vice President JD Vance attempted to hose down voter fears over soaring gas prices caused by Donald Trump’s war on Iran.

Vance, 41, made an appearance at a manufacturing facility in Auburn Hills, Michigan, on Wednesday. A local reporter asked him what the Trump administration was doing to “help keep gas prices down” as the Iran conflict spirals out of control.

Gas soared to $3.89 a gallon on Wednesday, up from $2.97 on Feb. 28 when Trump launched his military assault against Iran. That’s the highest since September 2023, after a spike caused by production cuts from Saudi Arabia and Russia.
