Pete Buttigieg, speaking in a Fox News interview, says voters he just spoke to in Kalamazoo are asking how this race will affect their lives. He says the tariffs Mike Rogers and the district's incumbent support cost families about $1,000 more per household on average. He adds that new Moody's information puts the average family's cost of an Iran war "most Americans don't want" at $2,000, through higher gas and diesel prices, higher interest rates and tax dollars.

Iran is our enemy. Israel is not. They're an ally. So that's pretty clear to me. Look, what I also know is that voters, my neighbors in Michigan, the packed room I just spoke to in Kalamazoo moments ago are looking at this race and asking, how is it going to affect my life? And what they're seeing is costs have gone through the roof because of President Trump's policies that Mike Rogers supports, that the incumbent in this district where I'm sitting, Bill Heisinger supports. They support the tariffs that have families paying $1 ,000 more per household on average. And just today, we learned new information from Moody's about the cost of this war for American families. If you're watching this at home, on average, you are paying $2 ,000 for this Iran war that most Americans don't want. That's because of the higher gas and diesel prices, the higher interest rates, and of course our tax dollars going to that conflict.
