GOP Launches Voter Mobilization Effort At Gas Stations As 'Pump Pains' Leave Hole In Americans' Wallets

The Republican National Committee (GOP) has revealed a new voter mobilization strategy to win the midterms later this year. They are registering voters at gas stations across the country as Americans pay record-high prices for fuel.

"Don't like the #BidenGasHike?" Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel tweeted Saturday. "Vote! Republicans are coming to gas stations nationwide to register voters!" she said.


The GOP told Fox News the new voter mobilization effort at gas stations began on Saturday. GOP staff and volunteers registered people to vote at gas stations in Phoenix and Scottsdale metro areas of Arizona, where the price at the pump for regular gasoline soared to $4.60, and diesel is around $5 a gallon. These record-high prices have infuriated drivers as inflationary forces wipe out their wage gains.



"Arizonans are frustrated with paying the record-high gas prices we've seen recently, this is an issue that affects almost every single Arizonan," GOP's Arizona Communications Director Ben Petersen said.



"There's no doubt that everyone is feeling the pain at the pump, so a gas station right now may be the very best possible place for one of our volunteers to have a conversation with someone and get someone signed up to vote," Petersen.



Regular gas prices surpassed the $4 mark earlier this month to a new record high on a national level. The Biden administration's energy policies, tight supplies, and the conflict in Ukraine have been responsible for soaring prices.
