President Joe Biden silent as gas prices increase

President Joe Biden has had a complicated history with gas prices during his term. After the country enjoyed relatively low fuel prices during the Trump administration, prices skyrocketed to record highs in 2022. Biden, who campaigned on accepting responsibility and not passing blame on others, subsequently attributed the hike to Trump, Putin, the war in Ukraine, and seemingly anyone and everything but himself. Then, when prices started to drop, Biden regularly took credit. Now, as gas prices have started to go back up again, Biden is conspicuously quiet on the issue.
