In a scathing response to the recent economic data, Pennsylvania Democratic Senate nominee John Fetterman, who currently serves as the state's lieutenant governor and will face off in November against Republican nominee Dr. Mehmet Oz, said it is time for members of Congress "to act and start taking serious action."
"It’s clear that Washington is not doing enough to tackle inflation and help the working people of Pennsylvania," Fetterman said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "While hard working Americans continue to pay absurd prices for gas, ExxonMobil recently announced that they’re on track to pocket $18 billion in profits in a single quarter. It does not take a genius to see what is going on here. They are making billions of dollars off the backs of regular people. We need to take on these companies and put an end to this."
