US Gas Prices Under Trump Edge Past Biden
Gasoline and diesel prices during President Trump's term have averaged higher than under Joe Biden, creating political pressure as the upcoming midterm elections approach. National fuel averages rose amid ongoing global supply disruptions.
Average gasoline prices across the United States reached $3.472 per gallon during President Donald Trump's second term, surpassing the $3.471 average recorded under Joe Biden. The rising fuel costs arrive as the Republican Party prepares to defend narrow legislative majorities in the midterm elections on November 3. Voter anxiety over pump prices has coincided with a drop in presidential approval ratings in national polling.
