Bessent: Gasoline Prices Below Levels Under Biden

This is a political framing move more than a market data point: the Treasury Secretary is anchoring the administration's economic case to pump prices, a metric households feel weekly. The claim arrives without figures or policy detail, so its weight rests on whether retail fuel costs stay the visible benchmark for voter sentiment. The open question is whether gasoline remains the administration's chosen scorecard, or whether it shifts as other cost measures draw attention.
