Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) criticized President Donald Trump’s Iran war, arguing that the conflict is driving higher fuel prices and increasing economic pressure on American households ahead of Labor Day. Sanders cited a national average gasoline price of $4.15, while AAA reported the Saturday average at $4.14, up from $4.08 a week earlier and $3.20 a year earlier. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) called for ending the Iran war, stopping tariffs and reversing health care cuts to reduce consumer costs. Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) said record-high gasoline prices were hurting Arizonans, while Gov. JB Pritzker (D-Ill.) criticized Vice President JD Vance over diesel prices of $5.82 a gallon. GasBuddy analyst Patrick De Haan said the national average could fall below $4 by Labor Day as WTI crude (a U.S. oil benchmark) traded below $80 a barrel and some states adopted winter gasoline earlier after an EPA (U.S. environmental regulator) waiver. He cautioned that prices could still be the highest ever recorded for this point in the year.
