Fuel Costs Weigh on Trump
The 2026 U.S. midterm elections are unfolding amid cost-of-living pressures and declining poll numbers for Republicans, while Donald Trump expects his party to perform better than forecasts suggest. The average price of a gallon of gasoline has reached $4.15 and diesel $6.29—record highs on an Election Day—with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis acknowledging that the war with Iran has contributed to rising fuel prices. Ballot-scanning machines malfunctioned in Westchester County, and 21 polling locations in Florida were moved because of flooding. Advertising spending is expected to exceed $12 billion; Republican groups have raised more than $2.1 billion, compared with about $1.4 billion for Democrats.
