The Daily Beast’s Sam Stein and Gideon Resnick reported this week that “Democrats are preparing an aggressive assault on the Trump administration in the coming weeks over the cost of rising gas prices nationally.”
Set aside the question of whether or not rising gas prices, which are up more than 56 cents nationally over the last 12 months and expected to continue rising, are the fault of President Trump. Instead, let’s look at how this new strategy will put Democrats in California - the nation’s most populous state, whose government is completely controlled by Democrats - in an awkward position.
Why is that? Because Gov. Jerry Brown and fellow Golden State Democrats are about to spend the next seven months attacking a measure that will appear on the November ballot that would, if approved by voters, repeal the state gas tax hike championed and signed into law by Gov. Brown last year.
