Here's What the White House Wants You to Believe About Falling Gas Prices

Sarah Arnold / Townhall Tipsheet

The next time you stop at a gas station and spend almost half your paycheck filling up your tank, thank Mr. President Joe Biden because, according to him, it's almost as if you're getting a $100 monthly raise. 

In an email sent out to reporters by White House staff, the Biden administration is claiming that Americans should interpret the falling price of fuel as a monthly raise. 

Titled in the subject line as "ICYMI: America Just Got A $100-A-Month Raise," the email says, "President Biden has taken decisive action to lower prices at the pump, and the current drop in gas prices is the fastest decline in over a decade… thanks to that decline, Americans are collectively spending around $400 million less each day than they would if gas prices had stayed at their peak." 

The email also includes a link to a CNN story that dropped at the same time as the email, with the first line reading, "Next time you stop at a gas station, think of it as a $100-a-month tax cut. Or a maybe $100-a-month raise." Read more here.

Ron DeSantis was ahead by a good margin. With the Sunshine State's primaries finally looming, a few new polls have emerged. We told you about this one earlier in the week, as it garnered a fair amount of attention for a reason other than DeSantis' solid advantage: 

 

This raised eyebrows over the Rubio number, which I simply do not take seriously. There was another recent poll (a Democratic internal) showing Rubio tied in his re-election quest, with DeSantis "only" up by five. That one seemed barely plausible. But as I said in this analysis, Rubio running double-digits behind DeSantis is simply not reality. Neither, in my view, is a subsequent survey purporting to show the incumbent senator up 11 points over his challenger. My best guess, I told some colleagues, was that DeSantis is leading in the high single digits – what would amount to...Read more here.
