Opposes a gas tax holiday

James Lankford opposed President Biden’s proposed three-month suspension of federal and state gasoline taxes, which would cut the tax by 18 cents per gallon. He argued that the temporary reduction would raise the national debt by billions without addressing the underlying problem.

Context: The proposal was President Biden’s; the passage records Lankford’s opposition but does not describe a separate measure he proposed.
