Democrats’ electoral fortunes have improved significantly in recent months. And while it appears the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade is the biggest reason, the coinciding drop in gas prices surely didn’t hurt.
But just as the party appeared primed to take advantage of that in the midterm elections, which are just a month away, the problem rears its ugly head again. And Democrats are clearly quite concerned.
Just how concerned should they be?
Gas prices had already been rising for the past two weeks, after 98 days of consecutive declines over the summer, to a national average of about $3.87 per gallon. And on Wednesday came the extremely unwelcome news from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and its partners (including Russia) that they will trim oil production by 2 million barrels per day. The move is expected to increase prices by reducing supply......
And even if the impact of OPEC Plus’s decision isn’t that large, it comes at a time when prices had already been rising — and during a season when gas prices had been expected to rise, as The Washington Post’s Evan Halper reported as far back as July.
Democrats would rather keep the election focused on other things, but all of these proposals aside, that’s something that’s largely outside their control right now.

you didn’t see the contradiction of my statement with the usual “/s”?
This Shiite is getting ready to go full FUBAR in just a few more months.
Nope, Proofreading is your friend, I know him well... he’s ALWAYS correcting me!
You said:
“Gas in Morgan Hill, California was $2.27 on January 12 last year.
Now it is over $6.00
Still, with restaurants full, airlines full, grocery carts full...I’m having a hard time saying we in a recession.”
AND you’re right about: “This Shiite is getting ready to go full FUBAR in just a few more months.”
Did they mention Biden TRIED to get saudi’s NOT to cut production by buying their oil and a high price, but failed.
They fret about the Democrats fortunes but don’t give a s*** about the American peoples troubles.
