Description

Gas prices have fallen since Donald Trump took office, but experts are debating how much credit President Donald Trump deserves – or if voters are even noticing. POLITICO’s James Bikales joins host Josh Siegel to explain how OPEC’s production moves, record U.S. output and Trump’s foreign policy choices have shaped the current energy landscape. They also discuss whether rising electricity costs, fueled by AI data centers, are becoming the new political flashpoint.
