Senator Hassan Statement on President Biden Endorsing Gas Tax Holiday

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Maggie Hassan (D-NH) issued the following statement after President Biden announced today his support for suspending the federal gas tax:

“Granite Staters need relief at the pump now. While I am encouraged that the President now supports a gas tax holiday, I continue to believe that we should seek to suspend the gas tax for at least the rest of the year, not just 90 days. We also need Mitch McConnell and his allies to stop blocking this commonsense legislation. I will keep pressing my colleagues in Congress to suspend the gas tax, and I continue to urge the President to take executive action to immediately lower families’ energy costs.”
