Tim Wildmon and Ed Vitagliano discuss rising gas prices caused by the Iran war and the potential political fallout for President Trump and Republicans heading into the fall elections. With the national average over $4.46 per gallon, they warn that if the conflict isn’t resolved soon, voters may blame Republicans regardless of the war’s role.
