Trump questioned why voters would support these candidates, citing concerns such as support for transgender rights, men participating in women&#8217;s sports, high crime rates, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/michael-shellenberger-bidens-woke-green-energy-is-a-joke-that-makes-us-dependent-on-china\/\" title=\"Michael Shellenberger: Biden\u2019s \u201cWoke\u201d Green Energy Is a Joke That Makes Us Dependent on China\">expensive energy prices<\/a> under Democratic leadership.He urged voters to choose Republicans for lower energy costs, <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >large tax cuts<\/a>, and common-sense governance. Trump also predicted that gas prices would drop to around $2 per gallon if Republicans were in power,warning they would rise significantly if Democrats won.
