The House Democrats’ campaign committee chair charges that “skyrocketing” gas prices sparked by the Iran war are “another broken promise” by President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans.

Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) Chair Rep. Suzan DelBene told Fox News Digital that House Democrats will keep spotlighting gas prices as part of their affordability messaging as they aim to win back the chamber’s majority from Republicans in this year’s midterm elections.

The average price of gasoline in the U.S. topped $4 per gallon on Tuesday, according to national averages from AAA and GasBuddy, the highest level in four years.

The surge in gas prices comes amid the monthlong attacks on Iran by the U.S. and Israel. In response, Iran has targeted energy facilities with missile and drone attacks in a number of Persian Gulf nations. It has also made the Strait of Hormuz nearly impassable to commercial shipping, bringing roughly 20% of the world’s oil supply to a halt and sending global fuel prices sharply higher.

FOX BUSINESS: GAS PRICES TOP $4 PER GALLON

The White House says the surge in prices is temporary.

“When Operation Epic Fury is complete, gas prices will plummet back to the multiyear lows American drivers enjoyed before these short-term disruptions,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement on Tuesday.

Leavitt emphasized that “President Trump remains committed to fully unleashing American energy dominance, lowering costs, and putting more money back in the pockets of hardworking American families.”

The gas price surge is giving Democrats more political ammunition to target the GOP.

“BREAKING: National Gas Prices Skyrocket to $4 Per Gallon,” read the headline from an email Tuesday morning from the Democratic National Committee.

The DCCC last week launched digital ads showing prices at the pump going up and an image saying “D.C. Republicans Did That!” Sources say to expect another round of ads on gas prices in the coming weeks.

DelBene argued that “Trump went into this war without thinking through the implications, and we’ve seen gas prices skyrocket across the country, on top of prices going up for families, housing, food, healthcare, all going up because of actions taken by this President and Republicans in Congress.”

As they fight to hold their slim majorities in both the House and Senate, Republicans are battling stiff political headwinds, as the party in power in the nation’s capital traditionally loses seats in the midterms. They also face a rough political climate fueled by economic concerns over persistent inflation, an unpopular war with Iran, and Trump’s underwater approval ratings.

A spotlight on inflation helped fuel sweeping victories by Trump and Republicans in the 2024 elections, when they won back the White House and Senate and successfully defended their slim House majority.

A laser focus on affordability by Democrats has fueled a slew of victories and overperformances in 2025’s off-year elections and in special elections in the 14 months since Trump returned to the White House.

“Affordability is a huge issue,” DelBene emphasized. “Folks are angry, they’re upset, and they’re struggling, and they need folks who are going to actually stand up and look out for them.”

DelBene argued that “this is yet another broken promise from the President saying that he’s going to lower costs on day one. That’s been a broken promise… And he promised no forever wars, that he wouldn’t get involved in a conflict like this.”

But DelBene’s counterpart at the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) welcomes the fight over affordability.

NRCC’s chair, Rep. Richard Hudson, in a Fox News Digital interview, pointed to tax cuts in the Working Families Tax Cuts, the name of the sweeping GOP domestic policy bill passed along party lines and signed into law by Trump last summer.

With the tax filing deadline quickly approaching, Hudson said, “Folks who work overtime, folks who work for tips, they’re going to see a lot more money in their pocket thanks to no tax on tips, no tax on overtime.”

“Our policies are making the American people more prosperous, and they’re going to start feeling it more and more,” Hudson emphasized. “And these are promises that President Trump made. These are promises that we’ve kept.”

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., did not say whether Democrats would look to impeach President Donald Trump during an interview on Tuesday if they take back power in November, despite MS NOW’s Ali Vitali pointing to “corruption.”

Vitali said during the interview that Democrats were reluctant to talk about potentially impeaching the president, and asked the former House speaker if she has seen Trump commit any impeachable acts in the second term.

“Well, I think that, I’m not, that’s just not where we’re starting with this, but when we get power, we will have power to go there to do what we said we’re going to do, lower the cost of living. Some people say you should use other language, but lower the costs of living, A. B, fix what they have done to the healthcare system with their trillion dollars from Medicaid, half a trillion dollars for Medicare, and the money from SNAP. I do believe that food is medicine as well, especially for children, and again fight their corruption. So that’s what we’re setting out to do,” Pelosi responded.

Vitali asked Pelosi again if she saw anything impeachable from Trump, citing “corruption” concerns from voters.

“We have a convicted felon who’s president of the United States. That was then, this is now. I think, that that’s subject to review. But I don’t think that’s something, that’s not where you start. That’s what you have to do because of what he has done. That’s subject a great review. We had great review as to what were the grounds for impeachment. And that’s up to a new Congress to come to that decision. But the fact is that, people want to know what we’re doing for them,” she said.

“You’re asking about what comes next. That’s up to the new Congress. And that’s up to them to decide where we go of reviewing what he’s done. And that requires power, all the kinds of things that build a case. It’s not just about, ‘I feel like doing this,'” she continued.

The former House speaker said she had no regrets about impeaching Trump in the first term.

Pelosi announced last year that she would not seek re-election at the end of her term, which is set to end in January 2027.

Pelosi said in December 2025 that there was not enough cause to impeach Trump during an interview with USA Today’s Susan Page.

During the December interview with Page, Pelosi said Trump gave Congress no choice but to impeach him in his first term.

As she continued criticizing the Trump administration, Page asked if she could clarify whether she believed impeachment should be part of the party’s agenda.

“If he crosses the border again,” Pelosi answered. “But that’s not an incidental thing. You say, ‘We’re going to do that.’ No, there has to be cause. There has to be reason. We had review. This was a very serious, historic thing.”

There could be one Giant reunion in the works for New York.

Head coach John Harbaugh was asked about the team signing free agent wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., and the coach did not dismiss the possibility.

“The obvious pat answer would be you look at every option, and if Odell is an option, we’ll be looking at him for sure,” Harbaugh told reporters at the owners’ meeting on Monday.

Beckham, 33, played under Harbaugh with the Baltimore Ravens in 2023 and was productive as a depth wide receiver. He caught 34 passes for 565 yards and three touchdowns.

Harbaugh spoke about the relationship he has with the three-time Pro Bowl receiver.

“He and I do talk. We do text,” Harbaugh said. “We’ve maintained a really great relationship. He’s one of my very favorite people in the world. It’s not like you don’t talk to guys on things like that. And certainly we have.”

“We’ll just have to see where it all goes, what’s best for him, what’s best for the Giants.”

Beckham won Offensive Rookie of the Year with the Giants in 2014, exciting fans with his electrifying play. After four seasons, three of which he made the Pro Bowl, the Giants signed Beckham to a five-year, $90 million contract extension in August 2018.

After the season, then-general manager Dave Gettleman infamously said at a press conference the team didn’t sign Beckham to trade him. Gettleman traded him to the Cleveland Browns just over two months after that press conference.

In five seasons with the Giants, Beckham played 59 games, catching 390 passes for 5,476 yards and 44 touchdowns.

Beckham never recaptured that same form with the Browns, spending just two and a half seasons with them before they released him. The Los Angeles Rams signed Beckham after his release and he became a key part of their offense in the Super Bowl run, including scoring a touchdown in the big game before he tore his ACL.

Beckham last played in the NFL in 2024 with the Miami Dolphins, playing in nine games and catching just nine passes for 55 yards. He did not play in 2025 and was suspended six games for performance-enhancing drugs.

He played at the Fanatics Flag Football Classic earlier in March and played well. After the event, Beckham told reporters he hoped it would be a “starting point” toward an NFL return.
