reporter: so he s going to be pushing for this three-month gags holiday, and basically that would mean a 90-day suspension of the federal gas tax. if you re wondering what that s going to save you when you re actually at the pump, right now the federal gas tax is about 18 cents for a regular gallon and 24 cents for a gallon of diesel fuel. so not really that big of a difference when you re looking at an average price of gas. it is getting close to $5. of course it topped $5 earlier this month. so that s been a big question for lawmakers because getting this done is not just something that the president can do on his own. yes, he s about to call for it any moment now. but it really requires an act of congress on capitol hill to actually get this passed. and you re already see something concern even from democrats in the president s own party about whether or not this would actually make that big of a difference, and if it s worth what it would do. one of those concerns has c

remember, president trump had initially endorsed brooks until brooks urged voters to move past the 2020 election. in georgia, vernon jones, the self-described black donald trump, suffered a nearly 50-point defeat in a runoff against mike collins in the georgia tenth house district. collins scored a rare endorsement last week from trump rival brian kemp, the governor of georgia. joining us now is conservative cnn political commentator scott jennings. good to see you. let s start with the potency of the trump endorsement. we see it s not worth much in georgia after the loss and now this loss. what s your assessment? well, it s still a pretty good endorsement to have. i think it works best when it s coupled with other endorsements. so if you re like a single-issue candidate which is to say i am trump and trump only and i want nothing else, that doesn t seem to be as effective as when you have trump plus other people endorsing you. in the case of katie britt in alabama, that was the ca
