Rep. Ashley Hinson, the GOP’s Iowa Senate candidate, urged the House to return to Washington immediately to address soaring diesel prices and provide relief to truckers, farmers and consumers. She proposed pausing diesel exports, suspending the gas tax, fully unleashing E15 and biodiesel, and creating a diesel relief program. Hinson’s call followed President Trump’s support for banning diesel exports, although the House is not expected to return until Nov. 9 after Speaker Mike Johnson canceled the final two weeks of the September session. The push comes as Republicans face voter frustration over the economy and the war in Iran. A recent Marist poll showed Democratic candidate Josh Turek leading Hinson by 8 percentage points in the competitive Iowa Senate race. Hinson has also called for the Iran war to end quickly and opposed Trump’s proposal to import foreign beef, saying it could increase uncertainty for Iowa cattle producers. Her position adds to signs of political strain among battleground Republicans, including Sen. Jon Husted and Michigan Senate nominee Mike Rogers, who have also criticized the continuation of the conflict.
