What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A Congressional Joint Economic Committee report estimated that policies under Donald Trump have cost the average US family $4,700 during the first two years of his second term. The report attributes major price increases to Donald Trump's war with Iran, which led to Iran shutting down the Strait of Hormuz in retaliation for military strikes. Furthermore, the report noted that monthly premiums for Affordable Care Act plans rose over 50% in 2026 compared to the previous year due to the refusal of enhanced subsidies by Donald Trump and Republicans.

Why it matters

The conflict and the resulting closure of the Strait of Hormuz drove a global spike in energy prices, leading to Americans spending $101 billion more on gas since the war. Additionally, the refusal to extend health subsidies contributed to record-high insurance premiums and surging deductibles.
