President Biden faces uphill battle convincing Congress to pass gas tax holiday

President Biden is urging Congress to pass his proposed three-month federal gas tax holiday. But lawmakers in his own party are skeptical it would help consumers. CBS News chief White House correspondent Nancy Cordes has the latest.

What's 18 cents. Vote the dems out and we have $2 gas .

[Derail]

I hope the Democrats that voted for him are struggling every day.

No matter what goes wrong with him and the economy it is ALWAYS someone else's fault. What happened to the Key Stone pipe line that was cancelled on day but crickets.

Wow Joey, $0.18 per gallon? You're the best!!! Now I will be able to afford a whole package of hot dogs for Independence Day.

To cancel gas taxes will impact road repair income. The temporary savings of like $2 a fill up to set us back months or years on road maintenance and repair. It’s another destructive policy. Vote out democratic candidates at the federal level to stop this nonsense

[donovandelaney]

I would fire my members of Congress if they don’t support my plans. That’s what I would do if I were President. That’s also what a good President does.

[randallgoldapp]

A futile move. Not going to solve this problem. Stop wrecking the petroleum industry.

[morecringe]

Yeah, because will not fix anything lol. Dude, explain to me why we are not drilling more. No just say companies don't want to drill. Who, how and why.

Biden 6/17/22 approval rating: 33% 😳
Trump 6/17/18 approval rating: 43%

Why does he even appear in person. Couldn't he just record a 'don't blame me, not my fault, Putins price hike' tape and play it every 2 days?

[petrusvanstaden]

So you can afford half a happy meal.

Joe is a thinker

[Woodarek]

ol joe-joe must of really bumped his head on that bike fall 🥴⛽️🥴

[mparker]

Need more than just 18 cent cut like 3 $4 cuts

[automatism]

Build Bike Better. Let's Go Brandon

[hankterreros]

The petro market knows it is going into history as the home delivery market of "ice or coal" did. The price at the pump should go down soon. Once the recession hits petro prices at the pump will drop.

[the_hulk]

We will NOT see any change in price. It will be the same price and the gas Co will absorb it as profit. So sad.

[NONEISH]

if this does not happen he fails, again.

[DeusShaggy]

Why would it take a month or two to reduce the price of gas?

It only takes them a couple of seconds to raise the price.

[jimmyjames]

If I save that 18 cents I might be able to buy a 50k electric car.

[MyShiroyuki]

This is worse than doing nothing. Everything he does just makes the situation worse!
