Americans can expect to see record-breaking gas prices over Labor Day weekend

Gas prices over Labor Day weekend are expected to reach a record high of $4.03 per gallon.
The forecast surpasses the previous Labor Day record high of $3.83 per gallon set in 2012, according to GasBuddy.

Elevated gas prices and voter dissatisfaction with the conflict pose political risks for Republicans ahead of the midterm elections.
