- Chris Wright told CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday that the Trump administration has not broken its promise to lower gas prices despite the ongoing Iran conflict.
- The Iran war has now stretched into its eighth month as host Dana Bash pressed Wright on his earlier prediction that gas prices would soon decline.
Why it matters: Wright's public defense of the administration's energy-cost record, made eight months into a conflict that has helped keep fuel prices elevated, highlights the political pressure on Trump officials to show progress on a core voter concern.
