Prices For Gas And Thanksgiving Meals Appear To Be Lower This Year

The economy is expected to be a prominent issue for voters heading into the 2024 election.

The White House and President Biden’s reelection campaign are eager to promote dropping prices from gas to the cost of turkeys this Thanksgiving.

White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients and top officials have been touting the improved figures ahead of the holidays.

The White House announced the average cost for a Thanksgiving meal for ten people is $61.17 which is down 4.5% from last year’s average cost of $64.05, which was a record high. The decrease in cost was primarily driven by a lower price for turkeys.

The National average price of gas is also down this week. It stood around $3.31 per gallon which is nearly down 10% from last year’s average during the same period. 11 states including S.C., have an average below $3.

The holiday push to highlight easing prices comes as the White House and Biden campaign have struggled with voters who say they feel economic pain despite some improved indicators. The economy is expected to be a prominent issue for voters heading into the 2024 election.
