Kamala Harris blames president for high gas prices: 'This is a direct result of Donald Trump's war of choice'

Former Vice President Kamala Harris is blaming President Donald Trump as Americans feel pain at the pump amid high fuel prices.

"Here in North Carolina and around the country, gas prices are too high," Harris wrote in a post on X. "This is a direct result of Donald Trump's war of choice in Iran, and the American people are paying the price."

The post features a video of Harris delivering remarks while standing outside in front of a sign displaying fuel prices.

"We've got a president who is paying more attention to what he thinks is in his best political interests and personal interests, as opposed to what is in the best interest of working people in America," Harris declares at the end of the brief video.

Fox News Digital reached out to the White House for comment on Thursday.
