Democratic strategist Jim Kessler warns that rising gas prices in the US could negatively impact Republicans in the upcoming midterm elections. “It's hurting people, so not as much as it's hurting people in other countries, but in the United States, the price of gasoline averages $4.21 a gallon. It was $3.04 a gallon two months ago,” Mr Kessler told Sky News Australia.

“Americans are already upset about affordability. “People are not happy about it, and it's going to hurt republicans in the midterms.”
