Tuberville: Handle Higher Gas Prices for Weeks, Stand Strong

0:00Welcome to Birmingham News Today, two minutes of news that matter to Birmingham. Conservative lawmakers like Senator Tommy Tuberville from Alabama are urging drivers to handle higher gas prices for just a couple more weeks. They tie the spike to the ongoing conflict with Iran, saying a quick win there would help America and the world in the long run. On a recent call with reporters, Tuberville pointed out that current prices remain lower than during the Biden years. He credited former President Trump with driving costs down sharply before, which set a high bar for everyone. Many folks feel the pinch at the pump right now, but Tuberville argues people got used to those rock bottom rates and can pitch in short term. The goal is to keep American allies safe overseas and protect people back home. He expects prices to drop once the conflict eases up. In the meantime, it's about standing strong against threats. As of Thursday, the average price for regular unleaded in Alabama sits at about $3.25 per gallon, according to Triple A.
