What a gas tax holiday would mean for Americans

With gas prices hovering around $5 a gallon, President Biden called on Congress Wednesday to suspend the federal gas tax for 90 days. He also asked states to suspend their gas taxes, and pushed back against his Republican critics who blame him for the price surge. Plus: a new solution to the housing crisis for Indigenous Americans. And: Juul e-cigarettes could soon be banned in the U.S. Guests: Axios' Hans Nichols and Russell Contreras.
