Donald Trump interrupted Bret Baier during a Fox News interview after Baier pressed him about "painfully high" gasoline prices. Americans are seeing elevated pump costs in many places, with Iowa's average at $4.327 per gallon, according to AAA. General Motors CEO Mary Barra says consumers are still buying cars and keeping up with auto loans despite rising fuel costs. The clash matters because higher gasoline prices squeeze household budgets and can shift voter sentiment ahead of key elections, increasing pressure on political leaders to act.
