President Biden said Monday that he will decide on whether to suspend the federal gas tax by the end of the week to offer some relief to consumers facing painfully high prices at the pump.
“I am considering it,” Mr. Biden told reporters in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, where he was spending the federal Juneteenth holiday. “I hope I have a decision … by the end of the week.”
He said he is also considering sending gas rebate cards to most Americans, an idea that energy analysts have criticized would only increase demand and lead to higher fuel costs.
