Senator Ted Cruz said that he does not think the recent jump in gas prices, which is tied to the conflict with Iran, will have a big effect on the November midterms. He shared these views during an appearance on CNBC’s Squawk Box.
Cruz claims that he has not seen any data to support the idea that these economic changes will meaningfully shift the political picture. According to Cruz, decisions about national security should not be shaped by short-term political worries. He added that he has seen no data suggesting this is having a big impact on the midterms.
