Democrats are looking at the polls, looking at the price at the pump, looking at the upcoming mid-terms, and getting really nervous.
How do we know? Because of stories like this:
The Detroit Free Press: Whitmer joins other governors, calls on Congress to suspend federal fuel tax
Whitmer has never heard of a tax she didn't like, has attempted to increase Michigan's gas tax multiple times, and her now asking the Feds to quite taking taxes out of the cost of gas is a rather shameless ploy on her part.
Why? Because federal gas taxes come to 18.3 cents a gallon.
Michigan's gas tax, which she is not offering to stop collecting to bring relief to Michigan drivers - something she could do right now on her own - is a bit over 27 cents per gallon.
She could offer more relief immediately than what she's asking from the Feds, but will not do so, and then she'll try to look good by claiming she tried to have the feds reduce the tax.

Amazing how Tax & spend Whitmer is suddenly all about cutting taxes, now that she is behind in the polls
LOL, good luck with that. The Intarwebz is forever...
ccm2361: Yep, an impeding election focuses an incumbent politician's mind most effectively.
Old NFO: Yep, unfortunately a lot of Dems will all get in line about how wonderful she is asking for gas tax relief....also she's now determined and announced she's focused the DOT on fixing potholes in the roads now that elections are coming.
