- Trump has criticized Harris and Biden over gas prices.
- But gas prices are falling, challenging his narrative.
- Prices are now averaging around $3.30 a gallon nationally, AAA reported.
Former President Donald Trump has been using gas prices to attack Vice President Kamala Harris.
In a recent email blast, Trump said fuel prices had "soared, making commuting and travel more expensive." At a rally in Iowa in December, Trump claimed gas prices had soared up to $8 a gallon, which fact-checkers quickly dismissed as false.
The cost of gas has long been a key issue for voters, who — despite global events like war or political instability in oil-rich countries abroad — typically blame high prices on whoever is in the White House. So, it's a well-rehearsed political maneuver for a challenger to attack an incumbent over the cost of gas.
