In October 2022, the Biden Administration announced its plans to fight against hidden "junk fees."
It's seen some success: Ticketmaster has begun showing more "transparent" pricing and some airlines have changed their practices.
House Democrats now see it as a winning issue and are planning more than a dozen events addressing it.

House Democrats are increasingly embracing what could be a winning strategy as the 2024 election approaches by joining in on the Biden Administration's crusade against "junk fees."
